Jackson hole rodeo and fairgrounds-state historic site.

Wyoming's HB 218 would designate the Teton County fairgrounds (approximately 26.09 acres) as the "Rylee McCollum Teton County Fairgrounds State Historic Site." The bill prohibits using the land for purposes other than the fairgrounds, western heritage events, agriculture, or public recreation - specifically blocking its sale, transfer, or modification for housing without legislative approval. This aims to protect the site, which hosts annual events like the Jackson Hole rodeo (70,000+ visitors) and county fair (15,000+ attendees), from further land loss due to development. The bill was introduced in January 2023 but died in committee in February 2023.
