After celebrating 100 years of Caldwell Night Rodeo comes maintenance and need for improvements. In special thanks to the Caldwell City Council, a $1.6 million match has been approved to fund improvements at our nonprofit rodeo. The resolution was passed unanimously and construction will begin October 1, 2024.
Mayor Jarom Wagoner said he fondly remembers attending the rodeo as a child, including working at the rotary booths. “It’s just great memories for me, and I love it,” Wagoner said, “and now I’m making those memories with my sons.” Wagoner said city staff were interested in using the city’s fund balance on something to “enhance the community” and “gives back to the city economically.”
Caldwell Night Rodeo in partner with the Caldwell Night Rodeo Foundation have now launched a capital campaign to make our dreams of improvements a reality and we need your help! Our goals include a new announcer’s stand, expansion and permanent skyboxes, ADA compliance and over all general safety improvements across the grounds. Phase One’s estimated total is $4.2 million but if the generous community of Caldwell gives more, they can be guaranteed the rodeo is ready to support them right back.
Donations via check can be made out to Caldwell Night Rodeo Foundation. Our mailing address is PO Box 98, Caldwell, ID 83606.
