SHERIDAN — The Sheridan WYO Rodeo Board will take over operations of the Sheridan College AgriPark to resume community use.

Following the declaration of a financial emergency for the Northern Wyoming Community College District, officials shut down the use of the Sheridan College AgriPark to anyone but Sheridan College rodeo athletes July 1, 2020. In addition, budget cuts resulted in staffing cuts including AgriPark staff, Zane Garstad being one of them.

Garstad helped run the facility and currently serves as vice president of the Sheridan WYO Rodeo Board. 

While the facility remained accessible to college rodeo athletes, public use — which included frequent rentals by several community groups and private users — ceased until further notice. The WYO Rodeo board approached NWCCD leadership with the potential to operate it “for the youth of the community.”
