Questions from the Community that were not answered Live:

From Gwen & Ken - “How do they plan to make sure the traffic does not interrupt the neighborhood-wide road?” 

  • Prescott Frontier Days (PFD) Inc. Will be conducting a traffic study which will then be shared with the city and the public. The traffic study will then inform the city’s traffic engineer how to best handle the traffic in and out of the rodeo grounds utilizing all four ingress and egress points. This study will be beneficial in highlighting PFD desire to provide shuttle service during high attendance events.

From Steven - “When is this project going to actually start?”

  • We currently have a target starting date of early 2024.

From Greg - “Why are we talking about this?”

  • The “Save the Rodeo” seeks to educate and inform our community, and encourage the public’s financial and social support by promoting the following involvement:

  1. Protect the World’s Oldest Rodeo® by keeping it in Prescott, Arizona on the existing site where it has been held since 1913.

  2. Ensure Prescott Frontier Day’s Inc.® continues to manage the Prescott rodeo grounds in the long-standing tradition of previous volunteer organizations for the last 110 years.

  3. Secure the future of our rodeo with a revised long-term lease with the City of Prescott.

  4. Encourage the City Council to approve Prescott Frontier Days’ Inc.® Master plan and Vision that was presented to them on March 28, 2023.
