Rodeo Fairgrounds

Most Rodeos have free parking and it smells like cotton candy.

Cotton Candy? Is THAT what "that smell" is...???!

Seriously, I L-O-V-E the rodeo! A rodeo clown...that's a tough way to make a living...here's to you!

As far as the fairgrounds campgrounds, our group of camping friends [uts together the RMVAC Rally each year and the last three have been at county fairgrounds here in CO & WY. The facilities are rustic but always very clean and perfect for groups like ours. With the big open spaces we are able to accommodate 75-100 trailers in a boondocking scenario no problem, while still having hook-ups for those with special needs and indoor facilities during in-climate weather.

Do you take your horse trailer on circuit with you? I doubt you could pull both...but as a clown, you probably don't. What make.model/year Airstream are you looking at? I guess with a M/H you could pull your horse trailer...but then you'd have to leave your truck home.

I pull other people's horses to the next gig for extra money. I am looking for a trailer so that I can save on hotels.

Just curious, how would you tow both a trailer & horse trailer? Make two trips?

Las Vegas

You can park for free at the California Circuit Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. The rodeo does not start until Jan 14th but some of us are showing up right after Christmas. Free Parking your rig here and Rodeo Clowns do not need to pull a horse. Sometimes I do to make a little money pulling someone pony. I like to take care of them pretty barrel racing ponies. That will come to an end as soon as I get my Airstream..
