Rodeo arena operations and neighbor impacts

Summary

The West Creek rodeo arena has a long history, including a 2010 incident that led to a recorded mediation agreement. Neighbors say six event days a month is excessive, noise is deafening, and the property has pushed limits before; the board approved it with strict conditions anyway.
