Gordyville USA sold to new owners

GIFFORD, Ill. (WCIA) — Gordyville USA is officially under new ownership after nearly two years on the market.

A broker for the sale confirmed the transaction was completed Wednesday.

The Hannagan Family thanked the community’s loyalty and enthusiasm for the event center over the years.

“As we pass the torch to the new owners, we look forward to witnessing the next chapter of Gordyville USA unfold. We are confident that they will build upon the foundation we’ve laid, infusing new energy and ideas into this beloved event center,” the Hannagan family said in a statement.

The racetrack was put up for sale in May 2022 for $4 million. In the sale, the new owner promised to keep the event center and name.

“Our vision is to maintain and elevate Gordyville USA as a premier event center with continued support and enjoyment from the local communities for years to come,” the buyer said in a statement.

Gordyville USA was built in 1988. The 160,000-square-feet event center is well known throughout the Midwest as it has hosted rodeos, tractor pulls, country music concerts, livestock events, craft shows and trade shows.
