Presenting Sponsor $10,000

Dear Community Member: The 76th annual Eagle County Fair & Rodeo will be returning to the Eagle County Fairgrounds July 22-25, 2015. The Fair & Rodeo offers an event that celebrates our Eagle County lifestyle while allowing our community to enjoy the sights and sounds of our past. Be a part of this historic tradition by becoming a sponsor. For the past 76 years, we have hosted a premier Fair & Rodeo event that preserves our western heritage while providing enjoyment for residents and visitors alike. By drawing over 29 National Finals Rodeo competitors every year, including world champion bareback riders, barrel racers and bull riders, Eagle County has become a destination for exhilarating rodeo competition. We invite you to be a part of the celebration through a wide array of options for involvement. Community sponsorship packages start as low as $500 and include a variety of advertising opportunities and the chance to enjoy Eagle County’s most time-honored event. Aligning your organization with the Eagle County Fair & Rodeo is good for business. Your association with one of the Mountain States Circuit’s top rodeos and one of the community’s most highly attended events will allow you to reach over 12,000 attendees over a four-day period. Not only will your sponsorship create positive community relations and create brand awareness in a non-traditional way, but your sponsor benefits package could help you reward hard working employees and loyal customers. Whatever your business goals, we have a variety of ways for you to get involved. If you would like to schedule an appointment to discuss our program, please contact Tanya Dahlseid at 970-3288892. We would love to work with you to present the 76th annual Eagle County Fair & Rodeo. Sincerely,

Eagle County Fair & Rodeo Advisory Council
