RODEO GRILL

Rodeo Grill was a huge success! We want to thank our investors and valuable customers. We could not have done it without you. We will be able to pay back our loan to Bank of Elliott and still have a profit of $344.00. We will use our profit to pay for upcoming events such as: Pioneer Day, Girls'/Boys' Day Out, and class activities. It was a great day for learning and making memories! Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
