Elgin Stampede Playdays

07/30/2026

After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Elgin Stampede Playdays for this year.

This decision was not made lightly, but we believe it is in the best interest of everyone involved.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding, support, and continued encouragement. We know many of you look forward to this event each year, and we're grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.

We look forward to bringing the Elgin Stampede Playdays back next year, and we can't wait to see you all then!

Thank you for your understanding, and we'll see you in 2027! ❤️
