This can only be accomplished by inducing newcomers to our midst. Among many other desirable conditions needed to interest people to settle in Cas- per is desirable recreation. At the present time Casper is in need of a public play- ground. With this need in mind, the Casper Wyoming Rodeo Association was form- ed last Fall by Albert F. Bell, Campbell Christian, and others, all of Casper. Like all other enterprises in their infancy, the Casper Rodeo has so far received a limited amount of support, but sufficient to date to insure it’s permanent existence, in that we have purchased and paid for, all of the buildings, the grandstands, barns, stables, exhibition building, fencing, and other equipment from the old Fair Associa- tion, which ceased last Fall, due to the fact that the lease on their grounds expired, We have been promised the support of the Railroads in that they have promised to extend Excursion Rates from all points to Casper dur- ing the Rodeo Week, and also offered their assistance by displaying Casper Rodeo Advertisements in their coaches. We are mailing circular letters daily to points most advantageous for good results. Both local newspapers, the Casper Daily Tribune, and the Casper Herald are donating their space for all local advertising, and publicity. The Chamber of Commerce is for Us. much yet remains to be accomplished. Much has been done, but The promotion work is being directed by Albert F. Bell, and the management of the show and Rodeo grounds is under the supervision of Campbell Christian, The officials of the Rodeo Association are acting in thier capa- city without any remuneration, salary, or commissions of any kind so consequently all monies received through the sale of season tickets applies directiy to the improvement of the enterprise. No donations are accepted, other than services. and that land is now being surveyed, graded, and cut up into city lots. These build- ings are now being moved, and are partly erected on our own grounds of 40 acres, that we purchased on Yellowstone Highway less than 2 miles west of the City limits; the ditching for the water piping system has been completed; lumber and timber is be- ing contracted for building additional grandstands, and bleachers that when com- pleted will accommodate totally eight to ten thousand people; logs are being hauled down from Casper Mountain for cabins for the Sportsmen's Association, and Boy Scouts both to be permanently located, inasmuch as plans are now under way to have a mounted Boy Scout Company in Casper. The Rodeo grounds, and horses will be at their disposal for practice and drill, and the members of the Sportsmen’s Associa- tion will have trap-shooting grounds adjoining their log home for gun practice. The Rodeo Grounds are to be Casper’s permanent Aviation Field, for local, and transient planes, and will be so advertised. The Rodeo Association purchased cuts for each of the printing houses in Casper, advertising the Rodeo, which is now being used on the back of business envelopes by approximately two-thirds of the Casper business houses, and offices. The Henning Hotel led the way in this issue having 20,000 envelopes printed three weeks ago.
