Weekend events kick off with the Miss Silver Spurs Pageant on Thursday, June 4
The event is Rodeo Big Boss Kaye Whaley's "final act" as rodeo chair before passing the torch — hat? saddle? — on to Henry Thacker.
The Silver Spurs Club is proud to present the 157th Silver Spurs Rodeo, continuing its legacy of family traditions and community support.
The rodeo weekend events kick off with the Miss Silver Spurs Pageant on Thursday, June 4, at 6 p.m. at the Silver Spurs Arena, and is free to attend and open to the public. The Silver Spurs Club created the title of Miss Silver Spurs to serve as a rodeo ambassador to tell the story of the Silver Spurs Rodeo during community events and when visiting other rodeos.
After the winners are announced, the Silver Spurs Rodeo takes over the arena with its traditional rodeo action on Friday and Saturday, June 5-6 at 7:30 p.m.
The rodeo, one of Osceola County’s most cherished traditions, will showcase rodeo’s eight classic events: bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, team roping, tie-down roping, women’s breakaway roping, and steer wrestling.
Tickets for the rodeo are $15 for children ages 4-10 and $25 and $35 for Silver and Gold reserved seats on June 5, and $20 for all seats on June 6. Children 3 and under are free on a big pardner's lap. Parking is free. Tickets are available exclusively at www.SilverSpursRodeo.com/tickets.
During the rodeo, the Silver Spurs Club wants to honor the sacrifice of military members in our community and beyond. So, for each night of the Silver Spurs Rodeo, veterans and active-duty military personnel may receive a free hot dog or hamburger with a drink. All they need to do to claim this deal is show proof of service at the box office with their ticket.
