Rodeo Board plans arena improvements
Several new improvements
have been planned for the rodeo
grounds at the Morrow County
Fairgrounds.
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.
