Dear Mr. Ray:
The Owasso Round Up Club would like to express their appreciation for the
recent lighting improvements made to the Owasso Rodeo grounds. The new
lighting has enhanced the appearance of the arena and created a safer
environment for contestants and spectators.
Although the light output was raised from 4 candle watt power to 7 candle
watt power, the specification of 11 candle watt power in the original bid
was not achieved. As a result there are dark spots in the arena which
preclude coverage by the television media so important to the rodeo as a
part of the Owasso Trail Days celebration.
'be Owasso Round Up Club requests the remaining bond monies be released in
.rder that we may make additional improvements to raise light output
sufficiently to satisfy media requirements.
Thank you, City of Owasso, for helping promote the great sport of Rodeo
for the citizens of Owasso and allowing the Owasso Round -up Club to be a
major participant in Owasso Trail Days.
Res ctfully,
T e Owasso R�Up Club
Alan Blaksley, President
