Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I've been several times and always enjoyed it. It's a very nice facility. I've never stayed tho--usually just drive down. If the ground is worked right, it's good, and I've never had a problem with it at this particular event. |

| I have neer been to the crawfish craze barrel race but have attended rodeo finals there. We stayed the weekend. Facility is comfortable and there are lots of restaurants near by. There is a movie theatre also, we went to kill some time. |

| We are going... I hear the purse is good, and each D receives the same amount of money. I'm going for the crawfish and cold beer with the Rajon Cajons!!!!! |

If I remember right, it's not equal pay, but they do divide the added money equally. |

Location: Dubach, LA | It's just like any other indoor. The ground is a crapshoot. It's always a fun race though. There are two big runs within 30 minutes of each other that weekend. Both producers will work with you. |

Location: North MS | You have three great covered arena/warmup areas to warm up in. You can walk directly from your stalls to the arenas without getting wet. The stalls are located in the very back, warmups close to main arena and the main arena is made smaller with indoor panels. You walk in and its a HUGE arena and building but they make the pen smaller. Check out the video run for sure. No off site shavings. Plenty of good food options available around the arena. Arena is located off the interstate but in its own little area so it is very safe. All of the hookups are located behind a single entry point. Harder for thieves to come in and steal un-noticed if any happened to attempt. I'm not aware of any attempts. The final check cutting was a little slow last year but that would be the only complaint. LOVED the little games and scavenger hunts throughout. We were blessed with AWESOME weather last year. I can't wait for this year- just need to decide how many horses to take. Hope the young one steps up. |
