National Western Stock Show (NWSS) Working Group

Overview

 

In mid-July, before being sworn in as Mayor, then Mayor-Elect Hancock asked several business and civic leaders to form a National Western Stock Show Working Group to gather information and review options for the National Western Stock Show.  The group is advisory to the Mayor and is not designed to make policy decisions.

On August 29, 2011, Mayor Hancock submitted a letter to the National Western Stock Show requesting the organization produce a Business Plan, a Facilities Plan and a Financing Plan (know collectively as the "Plans"). You can view the Mayor's letter here.
