It also said all food vendors at the Clovis Rodeo are nonprofit organizations that are directly coordinated through the association’s team.
The association urged community members not to respond to the messages, send payment, or share personal information with anyone claiming to offer vendor opportunities for the rodeo outside official channels.
For accurate information, the association said people should refer only to its official website and social media pages, and contact the organization directly if they are unsure about an offer.
