Main Sikeston | 573-481-2263 Ground Breaking Ceremony community development get involved In an effort to get the community involved with the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo, the Sikeston Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) would like businesses in the area to help host and contribute to the tourism that is associated with the Rodeo. Having a sale during Rodeo week or simply decorating your store front will assist in getting visitors out and about in our community, not just on the grounds. If you own a business around town get involved and get excited for Rodeo. Whether it is a special or promotion for Rodeo goers, having employees wear rodeo gear, a discount for shoppers that come in wearing Rodeo merchandise, or simply decorate your store front or lobby, somehow let people know you support the Rodeo. Proudly show your support for our community by showing your support for the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo. With an estimated 40-59,000 visitors to our community during the week, put your best boot, or foot forward and keep them coming back for our warm local welcome. After all, Sikeston is “where southern hospitality begins.” 6 JULY 2015
