GARDEN CITY, Utah.
March 13, 2014. Jade Willis
approached the City Council in regards to holding a weekly rodeo at
approximately 600 North 300 West in Garden City during the coming summer. The Planning and Zoning Committee suggested
that he come to the City Council to see if they thought it would be a good
idea. Apparently Laketown doesn’t want
the rodeo held during Raspberry Days because they always hold a rodeo at that
time.
It was noted that there are more people in the Valley during
Raspberry Days than at any other time, and many of them don’t know what to
do. Perhaps it would be a better idea to
have more than one evening activity—even if there were both rodeos, than having
people just driving around. It was
mentioned that competition is generally a good thing and might even produce
more income than expected at that time of the summer.
Willis noted that he will not hold a rodeo at that time if
Laketown is upset by it, but would really like to be able to hold something on
a consistent schedule. He also suggested
that he have afternoon rodeos those days and let Laketown have the evening
rodeos. Willis is willing to work with
both Communities and will abide by the decision made.
He will be going back to the Planning and Zoning to firm up
any loose ends. He said he would also
talk with Sim Weston, the Mayor of Laketown, to see how they feel about having
two such activities. The City Council
noted that they will go to Planning and Zoning and let them know of the
discussion the City held concerning this activity.
