The Club felt these races were needed to draw more people to the rodeo. The Club requested that the Town again offset any deficit incurred in the day’s activities but also stated that if the Club’s proposal was not accepted in its entirety, the Club would refuse to host the rodeo. The Rodeo Club’s ultimatum was taken to Council with Council deciding July 24 activities should remain under the control and supervision of the Town through the direction of a committee chaired by Councilor Alston. The Roi^e Committee were informed-by letter that Council welcomes the rodeo as a part of the celebration and will allot $1000 towards a deficit but cannot rationalize compliance with the Club’s ultimatum. When no written response was received from the Rodeo " Club, upon telephone inquiry, the Town Administrator was informed the Club would not host a 1979 July 24th rodeo. Brook Harker, Councilor.
