The 2012 Douglas County Fair Parade is tomorrow, Saturday, August 11. Celebrate the charm of an old-fashioned Fair Parade in downtown Castle Rock.

Perry Street, in downtown Castle Rock. The Douglas County Fair and Rodeo (August 9-12) emphasizes 4-H entries, rodeo and agricultural events and country music entertainment. It is located at the Douglas County Fairgrounds and Events Center.
In addition, there are free trolley rides on Saturday, August 11, 2012, following the Fair Parade to 8 pm. The Downtown Merchants Association will be providing a free trolley to people who want to travel between the Douglas County Fairgrounds and Downtown Castle Rock. The trolley will pick up from in front of the Events Center at the Douglas County Fairgrounds and make multiple stops in Downtown Castle Rock. For that day only, people who use the trolley will receive a coupon for discounts to downtown stores and restaurants. The trolley will allow people to park Downtown or at the Events Center and enjoy both the activities of the Fair and Rode at the Fairgrounds and the amenities and discounts being offered downtown.
