Seeing as how I’m leaving for vacation in a couple of days, its time to post some events happening around Cloverdale for the month of May, which is an active month for our town.
May 1, Saturday – 9am to 2:30pm, Forklift Rally at the Cloverdale Agriplex. This is at the end of 62nd Avenue off 176th Street near the barn area of the racetrack. Admission is free. They also claim food is free (coffee, hot dogs, donuts, pop). I’m kind of skeptical of free events like this that claim the food is also free. Usually you show up and there is a sign saying the food is free but you need to donate $2 or $5 or whatever amount to the charity they’re sponsoring.

May 20, Thursday – the Bed Races start at 6pm in Cloverdale on 176A Street inbetween 58th and 57th Avenues.
May 21, Friday – 4:30pm to 7:30pm is the Chili Cook Off in Clover Square Village. Highway 10 and 177B Street.
May 21 – 24 – the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair is back in town at the fairgrounds, corner of 60th Avenue and 176th Street. For more information on ticket prices and entertainment, please see their web page http://www.cloverdalerodeo.com/
May 21 - 24 – Pancake breakfast at the Cloverdale Legion from 7:30am – 11:30am. Pancakes, sausages, eggs, coffee or tea, and juice. $4.50. In honor of the extra people in town for the rodeo this pancake breakfast will happen all weekend.
May 22, Saturday – Cloverdale Rodeo Parade begins at 10am depending on where you’re waiting for the parade to pass you by. I can’t find a map up that shows the 2010 parade route, so maybe its just not posted this early. If the route follows the same path as previous years, the staging area is between 177B and 176A Streets from 56A to 58A Avenues. The parade goes down 177B Street to Highway 10 and then up 176 Street to 58A Avenue until 176A Street where it turns right and continues down there ending at the fairgrounds. Most people find a spot somewhere on 176 Street to watch the parade.
