They offer a lot of food options at the indoor vendor for reasonable prices. In the winter months it can get pretty cold inside but they have heaters on the bleachers that help. Parking is easy to navigate!

The large utility fans for the shaded livestock auction arena was a perfect idea. Unlike the Washington County fair, we could pet the animals thru their pens. I attend the local fairs just to see & touch livestock. The friendliness of these 4H kids was amazing. Almost 90° and in their navy blue jackets & jeans looking top notch... made it easy to identify them. I will definitely return to this fair every year.

Everyone is dressed in a matching outfit. Staff is super friendly and helpful all around the stadium and the outside venues. No doubt they love America in St Paul and they love the military service branches. If that offends you. This event is not for you. So many different events and always moving on the inside. Plenty of different events and different competitive categories. Loved the outside venues. A real variety of food programs and vendors really went all out to provide something for everyone. The history of the rodeo tent was educational and exciting just to see the evolution. So many people that are legends in the sport. What an honor to learn all about them and their accomplishments in and outside of Rodeo. A real family pleaser for sure remember sun screen Drink lots of water. It's a long day that keeps you entertained.

Great place to visit especially if you love rodeo!

If you visit rodeo on July 4 they have incredible spectacular fireworks show. We personally prefer to sit on the very first row which gives you an ability to get up during some moments and come back without squeezing through rows of people I've been to rodeo twice and will go again next year!! See you there!!!

As a newcomer to Molalla, I did not feel welcome. The announcements were very political, and they…read moremade it clear that anyone who didn't agree with their right wing Christian Nationalism was not welcome. I don't know why this attitude was necessary; it was supposed to be a rodeo, not a rally. Being born and raised in the city, I came to see my first rodeo, to try something new and to feel a part of my new town, but it was obvious my kind was not welcome. Perhaps I dress or speak differently? I don't know. It certainly isn't anything I do purposely, and I try to respect people from all walks of life. Somehow the vendors and some of the other attendees could tell we weren't part of their clique. The beer vendors were downright hostile. The clowns were good, and it's the best fireworks display in town, so there's that. My daughter came out from Beaverton to attend with me. We both felt very unwelcome and will never go again.

There are lots of free things to enjoy such as the table, setting competitions, the vegetable competitions and so on.

I have loved the fair every year I've came. The food is amazing.(Classic fair food, what not to…read morelove??) Animals are adorable, and the rides are the absolute bomb. There are only two reasons why this is not a 5-star experience. Size of Bracelet Soda cups- You can buy a special fair bracelet, which includes unlimited rides, 3 games, and a medium drink. I had this happen last year: You see the 3 drink sizes on the ordering counter, but what they give you is NOT the medium drink. I don't think it's even 8 ounces. Alien UFO ride- This ride spins so fast while closed off, it feels like you are glued to the walls. I got stuck behind where it specifically says "Do not go beyond this point" because you could get hurt if you did. I couldn't move at all, and I was afraid that I would get hurt. Fair has been great and can't wait to go back next year!
