Darryl and the City of Valdez

In 2016 the City of Wasilla partnered with Rodeo Alaska for our first ever rodeo held at the Menard Sports Complex Memorial Day Weekend. The 3 day event  brought several thousand folks to Wasilla for many family friendly events. Rodeo Alaska worked with large and small local business to provide vendor opportunities onsite during event open hours . The event also generated other business in our community as a well, from our gas stations, retail store, hotels and restaurants.

Frank Koloski and his crew are very professional and easy to work with all the while paying attention to the smallest details that will produce success for your community.

We, the City of Wasilla look forward to our June rodeo event and many years to come with Rodeo Alaska.

Best Regards,

Dear Mayor Cottle,

 

Happy New Year (and 100th anniversary) from Valdez!  I am attempting to bring the Rodeo back to Valdez this July and have been working closely with Frank Koloski (great guy) to make it happen.  Though I managed to convince the Council to appropriate the money during our budget hearings – I have a couple of Council Members that need more encouragement when it comes to authorizing the expenditure for the RodeoJ

 

If at all possible, I would love to have an e-mail from you as a positive endorsement of Rodeo Alaska and Frank – so that I could include it in my agenda item.  Of course, the agenda is due by COB tomorrow, so my apologies for the late notice.  I certainly understand if you do not have the time, but I appreciate the thought nonetheless!

 

Thanks in advance and hope all is well!!
