PRESS RELEASE: Kittitas County Supports Difficult Decisions to Keep our County Safe
The Kittitas County Incident Management Team (IMT) would like to show our support for the Ellensburg Rodeo Board who were tasked with the difficult decision to cancel the rodeo events for 2020.

Our support not only goes to the Ellensburg Rodeo Board, but to the rest of Kittitas County. We know that this news will cause many emotions for our residents today. Please take care of yourself and your family as you cope with this news. Remember to cope in positive ways: take care of your body, find activities you enjoy, connect with the people you know and love, and ask for help if you need it.
