I attended the 2023 Draft Horse Classic on Saturday morning, was a bit underwhelmed. I will start off by saying, the grounds are very beautiful, but the admissions and food prices they charge are too high. You can avoid the $10 parking fee by parking in the gravel lot across the street, but I think there should just be a $10 fee to cover ALL events. The horse show shouldn't cost more than $5.00. I heard some people complain that they asked for general admission tickets and were charged the reserved seating price. I don't know why they even have reserved seating as people ended up moving anyways. The arena is poorly designed. Unless you sit at or near the very top, you'll be directly in the sun, despite being under the roof. We ended up sweating, getting sunburned and feeling sick from sitting almost two hours in the sun. Then the shows and competions were a little disappointing, aside from two events. The riders ride right on the edge of the arena, so when they are closest to you, they are completely obscured. They should ride closer to the center of the arena. The horses were beautiful, but I was expecting a more elaborate event with costumed riders, large wagons and convoys, and was a little disappointed. I'm surprised this event is so popular. The "competitions" were a joke. The Cowboy and Mexicans were the only performers worth watching. I make a notion that they invite an Argentine gaucho.

This was our first outing in our RV, so we chose a place that was within 3 hours away from home. It is a beautiful campground with a pond and a lot of tall redwood trees. It was quiet and peaceful place.

Always clean and fun. Monster trucks were cool

Very clean and cozy fair, nestled in the beautiful pines! So much carnival, fair exhibits and vendors in a smaller space, along with Monster Truck show and animals for 4H, yet you really never feel cramped or suffercated. Literally the only fair we go to every year and every year we don't get disappointed!
