Jojo and Shawn will come due at same time, we need to get that re arranged so we do not have these two positions up in the same year. We may need to add a year to one term to one of the positions so they do not come due on the same year. We would not want that part of the board to come new at the same year. More discussion to follow.

We have a contract with Granite Falls. Mike, Jojo, Katie and Shawn met with Jerry there and went through the grounds and explained areas that can be used. Camping should not be a problem, people can park south of the arena, or across the road. But there is enough room all in one area. Katie will take a first come first stall available. 36 available, and 9 that can fit 2 horses. We can use the indoor arena for warm up and for our meeting also. Agenda for the weekend will be similar, Friday night will have a perf at 6 pm, run cattle back in the middle, and no slack. Sat we will have general meeting at 10 am in the indoor arena. Perf will be at 3 pm Sat. then will do awards at Bootleger Bar and Restaurant. There will be an option for a $15 ticket for meal and a drink, this will cover tips and expenses, starting at 730, and awards to follow at 830 or 9pm. Meal will consist of meats, veggies, desert and a potato. Katie also will be trying to contact staff who will be working to include them for a # of people for food. People should check in at the indoor arena, they should come in the north driveway, check in, then cross the road to the outdoor. Check in from 9 am – noon.
Clean up is everyone’s responsibility. We as the MRA will need to do clean up, all help is appreciated.
Question about barrels. There are some on site that have closed ends. Shawn suggested a sponsor for barrel covers. There is a sponsor that will provide barrel wraps, per Sharon.
Mike and Katie will be finalizing order of contestants same as last year as well at time for rodeo, order of events ect…
Entry Date- will be April 27th 2015 via phone – reminder postcards have been sent
Scott asked about another timer, and we will have one there plus his.
Old Business:
Review Money owed by St. Peter Rodeo Company
$3233.18. Updated information on this. However we have not gotten any money yet.
New Buisness
New Stock Contractor Approval Letter –
Letter reviewed which Talton sent in with the board. Also reviewed the rulebook to ensure we go through correct motions for a new stock contractor. He has at current submitted 2 rodeos that are not MRA first sanctioned rodeos.
Mike moved we table this letter to find out if he is asking to be a MRA stock contractor, who can put on MRA first approved rodeos, or if he is looking to only co sanction. Alicia 2nd. Motion Carried.
A suggestion came in on advertising our rodeos on ehorsehotline.com – Erica is someone who hosts our website, and she also does the ehorsehotline.com and said it would be no cost, and she could get us the info. Alicia said they use this for trailer sales and it is working well. Jill will cont to look into it.
