<strong>Sponsorship Opportunities for the C O S Rodeo.</strong>

It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that the C O S Rodeo is being created.  The Colorado Springs tourist and recreation markets are one of our areas strongest assets.  Yet our tourist only spends 1.8 nights in the area on average.  Other than creating an awesome adventure out west, the goal of the rodeo is to attract additional visitors from nearby markets and to extend their stay.  The rodeo anticipates at least 1000 guests per night in the first year.  With your support this goal will be achieved and surpassed.  C O S Rodeo looks forward to our partnership in building Colorado Springs newest event and adventure for both tourist and locals.

<strong><u>Available Sponsorship Packages</u>     </strong> <strong>All packages are for a one year term and include tickets to the rodeo.  All sponsors will be listed on the website with link.</strong>
