Playing at the Clova from May 26 to June 2 2011
Sorry there have been some posting issues lately with Blogger so I wasn't able to get this up sooner. Right now the Clova is playing Kung Fu Panda 2 at 7pm nightly. This is a first run so keeping with their agreement for 2 weeks exclusive on new runs they are probably playing it until June 9. Admission is $8. Or $15 for 2. Add $4 for each extra person in the group. Movie lets out at 8:30pm.

Raining on the Parade
9 times out of 10 it rains on the May long weekend. Right now it is raining lightly in Cloverdale, has been raining since I woke up at 7am so I don't know when the rain started.
I just came back from walking the dogs around Cloverdale and there are lots of viewing spots available on 176th Street.
Hopefully it will clear up later on.

Fence up Again at old Cloverdale Mall
Yesterday when I was walking past the old Cloverdale Mall I noticed they were putting up fence again near the Cloverdale Legion but I wasn't sure what was being fenced in.
Today I walked past and the site of the old Cloverdale Mall has been fenced in again.
I'm not sure if that is to prevent Cloverdale Rodeo guests from parking all over the place or if it is to prevent partiers from congregating there over the long weekend.
For all I know the fence could be up for good until the construction is complete.
There are still places to park at the old mall for people coming out to watch the parade. My advice if you want one of the few coveted parking spots - arrive early!

Cloverdale Rodeo/BC Lions Tailgate Party
When you're done at the Cloverdale bed races tonight - May 19 2011 - you might want to head over to the Agriplex for a tailgate party where the BC Lions are in attendance. 7pm to 11pm.
The Agriplex is located on 62nd Avenue. Turn east off 176th Street as if you're heading to the racetrack backstretch barn area.
Click here for the brochure. You have to click on a link to get your ticket. Attendance is free but it doesn't say whether or not the refreshments are free are how much they cost. I know at the Calgary Stampede there are a lot of free pancake breakfasts and all day BBQs at various events throughout the city. But this is small town Cloverdale! Not much of a budget for freebies.

More Pancake Breakfasts before Cloverdale Rodeo Parade
OK I've seen a little more about pancake breakfasts before the Cloverdale Rodeo starts since my last post where only the Cloverdale Legion had the word out.
As expected the Lions will be selling pancakes in Hawthorne Square between 8am and 10am on Saturday May 21. This is on the west side of 176th Street between 57th and 58th Avenues. I don't know how much they're charging. No mention of cost. Budget maybe $5?
The Cloverdale United Church 17575 58A Avenue is also having a pancake breakfast on Saturday May 21 between 8am and 10am. Again no mention of price. If they don't say then I always guess there is likely a charge. Again budget around $5 per breakfast.
So far there is no word on the Cloverdale Reformed Church's website about their annual pre-rodeo pancake breakfast. However the newspaper Cloverdale Reporter included them in an article and said they're having their free pancake breakfast on Saturday May 21 from 8am to 9:30am. They're located at 17473 60th Avenue.
Happy eating!

Pre Rodeo Party on the Hill
I've seen some advertising for a pre rodeo party at the Clayton Crossing Shopping Centre and the Hillcrest Village Shopping Centre. They're across the street from each other on the Fraser Highway and 188th Street.
Event takes place on Sautday May 14 from 11am to 4pm but its kind of vague what is happening, what time, and in which mall so you may have to cross the street if what you're looking for is on the other side of the highway.
BBQ's, live music from Appaloosa and Trailer Park Playboys, and stuff for kids like bouncy castles and coloring contests. Win rodeo tickets.
Anyone see the weather forecast for tomorrow? It says sunny with cloudy periods and a small chance of rain showers. Ah those weather forecasters. Trying to cover all bases. Just watch it rain now!
