Pets are welcome to join you at the AOAE! As pet owners ourselves we know adventuring is so much better with our furry friends along for the journey!

We do ask that animals remain on leash when you are away from your primary camping area or outside of the off leash dog run area (located within the stadium). There are farm animals on neighboring property, so safety is our top priority.

Please note you may see signs around the ground that state "No Dogs Allowed" however these relate to the landowners and rodeo specific events, they are not applicable to the Expo. Please know your animals are welcome with you anywhere on the grounds!

Get ready to shop till you drop! We accept cash, debit, and credit card for all our amazing products, merchandise, concession and beer gardens, making your shopping experience as convenient as possible.

We cannot guarantee that all vendors and food services will have the same variety of payment options available. And remember, there are no ATMs on-site, so plan ahead to make sure you don’t miss out on any incredible finds!

Whether you’re hunting for the latest gear, unique gifts, or delicious treats, the AOAE promises a shopping adventure filled with excitement and surprises at every turn. Don’t miss your chance to snag amazing deals and discover products that you’ll love!
