twitterMesquite council approves bull run for 1999
Wednesday, Aug. 26, 1998 | 9:16 a.m.
Phoenix promoter Phil Immordino wants to hold the bull run in the small Nevada town for the next five years, beginning next July. But the City Council decided to evaluate the bull run after next year's event, then vote whether to continue it.
The event was held on the outskirts of Mesquite July 11, drawing some 600 runners and an estimated 7,000 spectators.
Immordino wants to hold future runs at the Mesquite Rodeo Grounds.
Immordino pulled the proposal from the council agenda two weeks ago when two of the council members favoring the plan were absent. The bull run - which emulates the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain - was approved by the council in May for one year on a 3-2 vote.
The bull run was originally planned down Mesquite Boulevard, the city's main street, but that plan was blocked by the Nevada Transportation Department. The boulevard is the business route for Interstate 15.
