Cass County Sheriff’s Rodeo Planned for October

Cass Co. - The Cass County Sheriff’s Office Auxiliary is excited to host the Cass County Sheriff’s Rodeo this October 7 and 8th at the Harrisonville North Park Rodeo Grounds. 

The goal of the CCSO Auxiliary is to provide a premiere benefit rodeo that will support our commitment to public safety and children through the efforts of the Sheriffʼs Auxiliary. 

Through our concerted efforts, we will provide a memorable experience for the community and its participants. The event brings a better understanding of the relationship between Law Enforcement and the public.

"The Sheriff's Auxiliary is delighted to bring back this fun and family friendly Rodeo to the area. Our goal is to assist the Sheriff's office in helping keep the residents of Cass County safe” said Auxiliary President Darren Rew.

Proceeds benefit the Sheriff’s Auxiliary, a volunteer 501(c)(3) public service organization. The CCSO Auxiliary provides support to the community through children programs and specialized team assistance. The Auxiliary has funded more than $50,000 for D.A.R.E., Tan Santa, Law Enforcement Wellness, Benevolence Fund, Family Support, K9, and UAV programs.

“We are excited to be part of this family friendly event. The Auxiliary is a key part of our office and the programs funded from the proceeds are essential to support the men and women who provide quality public safety to the County.” Sheriff Jeff Weber

The C.R. McKellips Rodeo Co. will provide a Friday and Saturday night performance sanctioned by the United Rodeo Association and Missouri Rodeo Cowboys Association.

Yet another Friday police chase ends in Cass County

For the second Friday in a row, deputies with the Cass County Sheriff’s Office were called to assist deputies with the Miami County Kansas Sheriff’s Office pursuing a vehicle that crossed into Missouri around 11:50am.

Deputies continued pursuing the vehicle North on D Highway where other Cass County deputies successfully deployed a tire deflation device. A male driver was taken into custody a short time later. There were no other occupants in the vehicle.

 
The driver was transported to an area hospital for treatment before being transferred to the Cass County Jail. The Cass County and Miami County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the incident.

State Farm Student Athlete of the week

Today we went to Adrian to award Senior Colton Bass with this week’s State Farm Student athlete of the week. Colton was nominated by his Coach Jacob Weeks after his performance last week going 6 for 8 with a double, 4 RBI’s, 4 runs scored, 2 SB’s and one of those hits being a walkoff 2 run homerun vs Butler at the bottom of the 7th. Clinching the win in a big district and rivalry game. Colton plans on attending Missouri Southern in Joplin in the fall to play football and major in accounting.

When we asked Colton what he has learned from playing sports that he can apply later in life he said “leadership skills and being able to work with other people.” He says “to become an elite athlete it takes dedication and the right mindset.

You have to go in every day and give it your all to get better.” Colton said one of his favorite memories from sports in high school is the big hit against Butler at the bottom of the 7th.

We are so happy to award Colton this week and wish him and the Adrian Blackhawks the best of luck as they play in post season games.
