Page 12 The INDEPENDENT, April 17, 2003 T ic k e t c o s ts u p fo r r o d e o The Washington County Fair Board will increase the cost of admission to see the Profes sional Rodeo Cowboys Associ ation Rodeo at the 2003 Wash ington County Fair & Rodeo, July 24-27. Seating in the Cov ered Grandstands will cost $7.00 per person, a $2.00 in crease; all other admissions into the rodeo will be $4.00 per person, rather than being free. In addition to the admission increase, the prize money for each of the seven rodeo events has been reduced from $6,000 to $4,500 each. Higher production costs for PRCA rodeos are driving the changes, according to Fair Complex Executive Director Don Hillman, who estimated that the admission increase can generate an additional $20,000 in revenue which, with reduced prize money, should help balance the budget. “We could have found anoth er $20,000 to cut out of the rodeo budget without increas ing the admission,” Hillman said, “but that would start to im pact the quality of the rodeo it self. We hope people will feel the $4.00 admission fee in crease is worth it to keep the quality of rodeo they're used to seeing when they come here.” Rodeo admission is an addi tional charge for Fair-goers af ter they come through the Main Gate. Fair admission is $7.00 for adults, $4.00 for children 6 to 12, and $4.00 for Seniors 65 and up. Children 5 and under are free.
