“About 25 per cent of those guests of ours actually go to the rodeo itself, and the rest just do the country fair,” he says.
After the gates close, the process of dismantling it begins.
“It’s a big process,” Claypool says. “It takes about three or four days.”
He credits some of the high numbers of guests this year to the to all the new people moving into the Surrey-Langley area.
