During a meeting held today in the Bates County Commission chambers, Sheriff Chad Anderson with commissioners John Gray and Trent Nelson came to an agreement regarding payment for the annual Sheriff's Rodeo coming later this year.
After a lengthy debate, both Gray and Nelson voted to pay $7,500.00 towards the 2025 rodeo and 1/2 of the rodeo expenses for all years to follow. This year the Sheriff's Posse will contribute $3,000.00 to the rodeo as well.
Although a tie breaker wasn't needed, Presiding Commissioner Jim Wheatley voiced a no vote.
Full details from the discussion today will be revealed in the upcoming release of meeting minutes from the clerk's office.
A graveside funeral service will be held 11 am Thursday, July 3, 2025 at the Pleasant View Cemetery, Blue Mound, Kansas.

Beth was preceded in death by: her mom, Joan A. Stewart, her dad Charles R. Brigaman, her sister Cheryl Carr, her son Russell T. Hendrickson, and her husband Terry L. Hutchison.
Beth was a very memorable lady with a sharp sense of humor and loving spirit. She was not afraid to share her mind and was always willing to listen. Our fondest memories of Beth are sitting around the kitchen table playing cards and telling stories with her and Dad. I can still hear her raspy, ornery laugh…we love and miss you Beth. – Amanda and Leslie
