Fraser Downs in Cloverdale is holding their annual open house in the barn area on Saturday, September 19, 2015 from 10am to 3pm.
The barn area is on 62nd Avenue, accessed off 176th Street. Turn at the rec centre and drive down a block. The backstretch is on the right side. The parking lot in the backstretch might be packed with cars belonging to the horsemen and women, so park in the lot across the street and walk over.
They do barn tours - come out and meet the horses and the people who work with them. They have rides on jog carts and last year they had a BBQ with hot dogs. No word on snacks this year, but they've always had something in the past.
In the past they've also had a colouring station for kids and prizes, so it's likely they'll have them again this year.
This is a great opportunity for a behind the scenes look at the Standardbred racing industry.
