Howdy Folks!

It has been a little over a month since our beloved Cow Palace was designated as an Evacuation Center for Livestock and Large animals, and wanted to let you all know that this page will be going away at the end of the month 😢

We are excited to announce that our namesake event of the year, the Grand National Rodeo, will be coming to you virtually and we don't want you to miss out so be sure to hitch your wagon by Liking 👍 and Following our Cow Palace page.

For the past week, our 79-year old "Palace for Cows" has served as an emergency evacuation center for assorted animals and livestock that have been displaced by the wildfires. Like, Share and check out this article by Charles Russo with The Six Fifty.

Aided by donations and community hustle, the Cow Palace rallied on short notice to house over 200 local animals displaced by the fires.

They say, 'Birds of a feather flock together' and in a time of need this wouldn't be more true over the past week on our grounds. Our beloved Cow Palace has brought many flocks together, from our fellow Fairground Friends at San Mateo Event Center to volunteer veterinarians and animal caretakers, from local media to literally all kinds of flocks of birds. We could not do it without the relentless effort from volunteers, staff and Community support. We appreciate all of your hard work and getting our facility ready when we answered the call 💪.
