Bank of Colorado Inks Agreement as Presenting Sponsor of the Montrose County Fair and Rodeo The 133rd Montrose County Fair and Rodeo starts the year ahead in sponsor-ships with a large commitment from Bank of Colorado. Bank of Colorado signed on as the presenting sponsor for this year’s “Where I Come From” fair and rodeo. Sponsor dollars are used to help fund entertainment, support the junior livestock participants, and provide operating capital for the event. Bank of Colorado began its relationship with the fair and rodeo in 2017 as the main stage sponsor. Their popular “money vault” was used at ticketed events and offered added entertainment and the opportunity for attendees to grab some quick cash. The vault is a booth that people stand in for a limited time, with money blowing around and they try to grab as much as possible. The attraction is expected to make another appearance at this year’s fair. In addi-tion to sponsorship, Bank of Colorado was the top buy at the 2017 Junior Live-stock Auction and a Top 10 buyer in 2018. “Bank of Colorado is proud to be the presenting sponsor for the 2019 Mont-rose County Fair and Rodeo. We couldn’t be more excited to be involved in a tradition that has brought our community together for over 130 years,” said Bank of Colorado Market President Ryan Gilbert. “The theme is fitting; “Where we come from” helps define us. The communities we are part of make us who we are and we couldn’t be happier to call Montrose home. Bank of Colorado is family owned and community focused which started back in 1900 and contin-ues today. Sometimes the best way to move forward is to take a journey back to where we started. May we always remember the people and traditions that laid the solid foundations in which we live today.” Chris Cohick Fair Board President acknowledged Bank of Colorado’s commit-ment to fair as he noted, “The Montrose County Fairboard would like to thank the Bank of Colorado for their forward-thinking, community-oriented sponsor-ship, as this year's presenting sponsor of the Montrose County Fair & Rodeo. They have been great supporters of the fair in the past, and have really proven their support by becoming the presenting sponsor of the 2019 Montrose County Fair and Rodeo. We truly appreciate their involvement, look forward to our future relationship with them and are honored to have our event carry the Bank of Colorado name.”
