Tom Wilson, athletics director for the Sweetwater County School District No. 2, reported the cost to host the Flaming Gorge Classic will be 26 thousand dollars. At the Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday night, Wilson said despite cutting back on costs after losing the event’s corporate sponsor, the event still had that high of a price tag. Some cutbacks included not buying shirts with Flaming Gorge Classic graphics and cutting costs involved with the hospitality rooms. All in all, the county may break even on the event, but that may be a good thing, since the amount of tourism dollars to local businesses will translate into more tax dollars for the county.
