A rodeo office will be built on the east side of the arena by the old Shorty's Museum, next to the horse stalls. The office will be used for the rodeo held in August and other rodeo events in the arena. A small trailer had been used for the office in years past. The new office will house a secretary's office, a meeting room and a storage area. The office will include a phone, air conditioning, heat and water and will allow contestants and volunteers to get out of the weather during performances. Both Kinzua Resources LLC and the Reith Mill have donated materials for the project, which is expected to be completed around the end of the month. A new handicap access will also be constructed on the west side of the grandstands. An aluminum ramp that will begin by the stairs of the grandstands will ‘ lead to a concrete slab near the roping boxes. Wheelchair access will be available by driving up to the ramp. Both projects will be completed by Ken Eckman Construction. The Rodeo Board has also announced that the Heppner High School Booster Club has donated $5,500 towards construction of a crow's nest.
