Here are a few things happening around Cloverdale on the May long weekend. The only one with paid admission is the rodeo and fair. All other events, excluding pancake breakfasts, are free. Well there might be one free pancake breakfast. Haven't verified that for sure yet though. Will update later once I know.
Thursday May 19 5pm - Kid's decorated bike parade. 57A Avenue and 176A Street, next to the Pharmasave. Registration starts at 5pm and the parade is at 5:40pm. For more information phone 604-574-9802.
Thursday May 19 6pm - Cloverdale Bed Races. This happens on 176A Street between 58th and 57A Avenue. Though I believe 176A is closed to vehicle traffic between 58th and 57th, maybe even to 56A. Deadline to enter your team is Friday May 13. Download an application here.
Friday May 20 to Monday May 23 - Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair. Performance and opening times vary. Held in the Cloverdale fairgrounds, corner of 176th Street and 60th Avenue. Check their website for more information.
Friday May 20 to Monday May 23 8am to 11:30am - pancake breakfast at the Cloverdale Legion 17567 57Ave. Pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee, orange juice/drink for $4.50.
Friday May 20 4:30pm to 6:30pm - Chili cook off held in the Clover Square Village south corner of 177B Street and Highway 10. Free chili testing - vote for your favorite. Also live entertainment.
Saturday May 21, 10am - Cloverdale Rodeo Parade. Most people head to 176th Street to catch the action. See my previous post for more information on the route.
Saturday May 21, 11am to 4pm - Sheep shearing and weaving competition. Held at the Cloverdale Museum, presumably outside! 17710 56A Avenue.
Usually the Lions have a pancake breakfast set up in Hawthorne Square (176th Street almost across from the Clova) on Saturday prior to the rodeo parade. I haven't seen them advertised yet. I do know that Cloverdale's Trailerpark Playboys will be entertaining the pre-parade crowd with music and they are usually set up in the Hawthorne Square area.
In past years the Cloverdale Canadian Reformed Church has held a free pancake breakfast prior to the rodeo parade. They also sell parking spots to rodeo goers, about a block or two walk to the fairgrounds. Nothing mentioned on their web page or outside their church yet so I will keep you posted as I find out.
