June 2025 Update

We're Almost Done!

Things are coming together quickly for final inspections and sign-off.

March 2025 Update

The City has given planning approval of the Site Plan.

Benton County has given approval of the building permits for the bleachers, announcer's stand, and restroom. Frolic volunteers have removed the chutes and stock panels on the west side of the arena. Gerding Builders has brought in gravel and prepared an access road, and prepared the area for concrete footings that will support the new bleachers.

The Plans

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce plans to rebuild and expand the bleachers, upgrade lighting and make other improvements to the arena.

Project Scope

  • Construction of new metal bleachers around the arena
  • Installation of energy-efficient LED arena lighting
  • Construct new public restrooms
  • Construct new announcer’s stand
  • Installation of chutes, gates and fence panels

A capital campaign is underway to raise $500,000. Please review the additional materials below and consider making a contribution to bring us closer to our goal of replacing the grandstands.
