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.

They have the bass turned up so high it shakes the house. Literally vibrates the floor underneath you in your own home. The city wont do anything about it. If you try to email them (the rodeo organizers) they ignore you. They will run until at least 10pm on sunday nights. Its as if they have no care for their neighbors who need to work in the morning. All they would need to do is turn their bass dial down so they dont shake the ground. But they won't do it. They'll take your money, but do not care about their neighbors at all. Highly recommend against supporting such an organization. At this point, if it would get them to be respectful with their noise, I'd buy tickets.

If you visit rodeo on July 4 they have incredible spectacular fireworks show.

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.

We enjoyed the march of high school bands, sponsor floats, community organizations, and horse riders for a couple hours. The crowd was never too large so there were lots of spots along the sidewalks on Burnside to see each group pass by. The parade starts at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum before heading across the Burnside Bridge, turning at 4th Avenue, and heading down to Lincoln High School. We str Naming rights for the parade mean it is now called the Spirit Mountain Casino Grand Floral Parade and they get to start the show as the first float after a mass of flag-waving local Boy, Cub, and Girl Scouts. More interesting groups followed including floats from Portland's sister cities, diverse minority group participation, a few small equestrian teams, a chill pack of llamas, drill teams and marching bands, the royal court and festival queen, and a U.S. Air Force Honor Guard. The entire route of the parade is 4 miles so locals and tourist should have no problem finding a place to enjoy all or part of the parade. It starts at 10:00 at the Coliseum, but we didn't hit our area until around 11:00. We found parking for a crazy high $16 about a block away, but it was worth it, I suppose. This parade may not rival some of the bigger and more elaborate ones around the country, but for Portland, the Grand Floral Parade, is as big as it gets. It's a source of pride and participation for the entire Portland-Vancouver metro area for good reasons. I'm a fan.

There are five floors with Regal Cinemas on the top floor and food court at the lower floor. In food court, they have Din Tai Fung. Since Oregon has no sales tax, this mall is popular destinations for tourist, saving them some extra dollars. As we explored the mall, it looked clean and well maintained. In the common area there was a nice water fountain. The food court space wasn't too exciting other than it had DTF. All the stores we went had friendly staff. Security personnels walk around the mall to keep it safe. But outside the mall building, the surroundings are not as secure, so I suggest do all the shoppings during the day time.

The new venue allowed for more space, and there was a lot more food this year, especially compared with 2018, which was very drink-heavy. None of the lines were too long, which was a huge bonus!
