How about a rodeo in Green River this summer? It will happen according to the Green River Star. A rodeo event featuring bull riding, barrel racing, motocross, barbecue food and country music is coming. Cindy Brandjord approached the Green River City Council Tuesday evening to gather city support for the Extreme Country Stampede Tour, a two-day event scheduled for July 9 and 10.
Branjord said the event would be geared to families and would focus around the city’s rodeo arena and Stratton-Myers Park. She said the possible sale of alcoholic beverages hasn’t been finalized yet, but added alcohol sales typically come along with rodeo events. Councilman Tom McCullough initially voiced concern about having a motocross event take place in the rodeo arena, saying additional dirt would need to be brought in and taken out.
Brandjord reportedly had already spoken to the president of the Extreme Country Stampede Tour, Kenneth Churchill about the motocross events. She said the motocross jumps were prebuilt and would not require extra dirt.
Brandjord said she hoped the event would draw a similar crowd to those seen at Flaming Gorge Days.
