The Silver Spurs Riding Club will be hosting the 145th Silver Spurs Rodeo this weekend at the Silver Spurs Arena, 875 Silver Spur Lane, Kissimmee.
Fans can experience “Rodeo Day,” where Osceola County School District students get into the rodeo free with their student identification.
At each rodeo performance, rodeo fans will be entertained watching seven of rodeo’s traditional events: bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, women’s barrel racing, steer wrestling and team roping against the clock for an entire year of bragging rights and $50,000 in cold, hard cash.
“We are excited to kick off the 145th Silver Spurs Rodeo with the seven traditional rodeo events we have shared with our fans for over 77 years,” said 2019-21 Big Boss of the Silver Spurs Riding Club. Chris Baker. “We are looking forward to seeing our fans this year. We have provided a safe and more open arena to allow for social distancing due to the pandemic because keeping our fans safe is our number one priority.”
