Florida State Rodeo
The Silver Spurs Rodeo
(Osceola County)
Adopted in 1994
Several times a year the new-state of the art Silver Spurs Arena purposely gets the arena floor dirty, and when we say dirty, we mean 1400 cubic yards of dirt, dirty. All to cushion the wild bucking bulls and bareback broncs, racing barrel horses, crazy rodeo clowns and the nations top cowboy's; rodeo fans it's time for the biggest, the best, the Silver Spurs Rodeo of Champions.
The high-tech Silver Spurs Arena is located at Osceola Heritage Park off Highway 192 in Kissimmee, Florida. Sixty of professional rodeo's top cowboys will vie for more than $100,000 in prize money as they leverage razor-sharp reflexes and brainy brawn atop the country's top—and most unpredictable—livestock.
