Granby Rodeo at Flying Heels Arena

What's going on with the arena?

Flying Heels Arena is the center of a lot of news currently! There have been many news articles and information floating around, and Flying Heels Arena Association is going to try and use this website to keep arena users informed.

Click here to be linked to Grand County Rural Health Network’s website. It contains future plans for a medical campus and information on building projects.

The Flying Heels Arena Coalition has been created in response to this proposal. The Coalition is made up of arena users, including Granby Rodeo, East Grand Roping Club, Cutting Horse and 4-H clubs. The Flying Heels Arena Coalition has put together a petition to object to any and all proposed changes to the 55.34 acres of the original patent.
