Getting Involved in Local Community Service

Rod Freeman Joins Ravalli County Fair Board

Hamilton, MT (Grassroots Newswire) October 20, 2010 -- Elected as the newest Board Member for the Ravalli County Fairgrounds, Rod Freeman, Realtor for EXIT Realty Bitterroot Valley, Inc., is enthusiastic. "I'm really excited to have the opportunity to serve the community."

Freeman is a lifelong horse person beginning as a child in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana to riding bucking horses in Europe while in the service; Rod has always enjoyed both the horses and people. Once back in the states, Rod was instrumental in organizing and managing a rodeo club in Oklahoma that had the backing of the base commander. Within 3 years, the club boasted a membership of 90+, both civilian and military, an arena of their own, a bucking string, and mechanical bull used to train new riders. The club under Freeman's guidance went on to sponsor monthly dances and Pro-rodeo competitions.

As a Realtor at EXIT Realty Bitterroot Valley Inc., with his wife and partner, Broker Christie Anderson, they focus on assisting clients, both out of town and locally in finding the perfect horse properties in the Bitterroot Valley.

His priorities for the fairground include addressing lighting issues for night-time riding, changing up the V.I.P. seating areas for sponsors, and most important (especially to a horseman) improving the footing in the arena. He plans on using his past experience in organizing the Senior Pro Rodeo, Glory Days, and riding clinics to help expand the activities currently offered at the fairgrounds. He wants to include and attract the many and disparate horse groups in Ravalli County making the site a truly year round facility.

"We want to make sure that events going on at the fairgrounds are viewed by the county as county events" Freeman assured.
