It was fun to read the bios and fun facts about the Hall of Fame inductees. They had a movie that plays every 30 minutes but we didn't have time to catch it. They also have an outdoor area with lots of statues but unfortunately it had snowed the night before so they were a little covered on our visit. It was a fun family afternoon and we were glad we made the trip.

The only thing I'm bummed about is that I missed the bucking horses because we were in a little bit of a time crunch, but we spent a ton of money in the gift shop and we will definitely come back because I want to see the horses anyway next time we're in Colorado Springs that's gonna be our first stop make sure it's yours too, Perfect stop!!

It had diversity of culture and representation. It had a mariachi band. It had a nightlife live band. All the committee men and the board of directors. It had all the flags and the beauty queens. It had upcoming county affairs and surrounding support from other areas in Colorado and Wyoming. And it had lots of little freebies. The only thing I missed was the Longhorns in the parade. All of the advertisements have longhorn bulls coming down the street and I thought for sure I'd be able to see him. But there was enough flare flavor, and crowd interaction to make me happy, including the Denver Broncos own, Miles. Pro tip at the end of the parade deck into a coffee shop and let the crowd clear before heading out and about your day. See y'all at the rodeo.

I kept finding myself wondering when the hell these people came to learn these dances! Then when they weren't doing choreography, the couples swing dancing together across the dance floor was so beautiful and seamless- some of them looked professional. It was so fun to watch, and an experience I've never had before! There are two other floors I didn't experience. The second just overlooks the first, so I didn't feel the need to check it out. BUT I heard that the third floor has a mechanical bull and karaoke- I wish I'd known sooner because I would have loved to check it out. I didn't eat but the drinks were affordable and bartenders were quick and helpful! Would love to come back here.

As someone who travels frequently for work, I just wanted a place to relax. This was my second time…read morevisiting; my first experience was enjoyable, so I decided to sit in the exact same area. I was minding my own business--scrolling on my phone, watching PBR on the TV, and occasionally watching the pool games happening nearby. At one point, a guy from the pool table came over and made some friendly small talk. He mentioned he was in the Army, and as a recently retired Navy guy, we had a good, respectful conversation before he went back to his game. A few minutes later, a woman from his group approached me. Under the guise of being polite, she condescendingly demanded I give up my seat and leave because my being a "guy sitting alone" was making her uncomfortable. I was dumbfounded. Having said and done absolutely nothing to her or her group, I simply nodded and stayed in my seat. She returned shortly after, getting in my face and aggressively telling me I should have already left. When she touched my arm, I firmly told her I didn't appreciate the unwanted physical contact and asked her to leave me alone. Instead of acting like an adult, she ran to complain, which brought security over. While complaining, she loudly hyped up her "9 years in the Navy" to build credibility--completely unaware she was trying to flex on someone with 20 years of service. It was frankly embarrassing to watch. The most disappointing part of the night was how the situation was handled by one specific security guard. The bartenders were fantastic, and the second security guard actually seemed reasonable and completely understood that this woman was acting out of line. Unfortunately, the other guard took charge and completely indulged her entitled behavior. He gave me two options: let him escort me out, or move to the other side of the bar. I've visited thousands of bars in my life, and I have never experienced something so bizarre. If I had been staring or making inappropriate comments, I would completely understand, but I was literally just sitting by myself. Even the Army guy in her group stood by looking completely embarrassed by her unhinged behavior. I am highly conscious of being respectful to those around me. It is truly a shame that the great bartenders and the rest of the hardworking staff were overshadowed because a single employee was allowed to dictate the outcome and ruin the entire experience. I will not be returning. Five stars for all the other people working aside from that one security guard that enabled entitled behavior. Everyone that wears your brand represents your company!

Big names performing classic albums so for the ticket price you're getting a great price. Especially if you get some of those early bird deals. Have to jump on those deals though, go extremely quick. Can always swoop something off Craigslist last minute though. Usually two stages in front and two in back. One stage in the middle arena. I went 2015 and 2016 but that's when they switched the event to the stockyards. Riot Fest and Rodeo. Not much food selection in 2016 or rides at all. 2015 was much better but the lineups were decent. Varied. You can't please everyone! "Riot Fest Sucks!!!" But honestly it's local and for the price worth going to. Can get dusty at the stockyards or a bandana and sunglasses are a must I would say.

The selection of food isn't very good either. There is a variety but none really looked good other than the pizza. It was just edible. Some portable table for people to eat on would nice too. Hopefully each year will get better.

This year was my first time attending the RMSHC specialty, and it was held at the Al Lesser building. The grounds themselves were clean and beautiful. There was construction going on as well, but we never had an issue getting to our show site. The building was spacious, and there was even a microwave for me to reheat leftovers. Chairs were provided, and were quite comfy. Parking was plentiful, and there was a gorgeous lake for those who wished to take their dogs on a nice scenic walk. There were plenty of spots for photo ops as well! At the end of our specialty weekend, we made sure to pick up after ourselves and swept the whole building clean. As those involved in the longevity/breed preservation of well-bred purebred dogs, we were conscientious to present our best foot forward and leave no room for complaints. This was honestly such a wonderful venue, and I liked it much better than some of the fairgrounds that I've shown at in my home state of CA. I did hear that they would be raising their rates for renting the building, unfortunately, which is happening across so many venues these days. Hopefully we can return to show here again in 2028, but we shall have to wait and see.

What was off to me so that the pieces were not named and didn't have a blurb about their background which I've seen at other fairs. It's nice to have a little background to what inspired the artist. The larger exhibit room with 4H didn't open until noon, despite the website's posting of 10 am. The other exhibit hall had some exhibitors like a local bee club but several of those exhibits were unstaffed like the disaster response table. The bee club was hopping and interesting. Food wasn't really available, maybe one place. Customer service booth wasn't staffed at 11:30 a.m. when we left. Plenty of parking.
