The largest rodeo east of the Mississippi is the work of the Silver Spurs Riding Club; an all-volunteer, non-profit organization started in 1941 by Osceola County ranchers who began the rodeo in 1944, selling war bonds as admission to raise funds for our military.
Your Silver Spurs Rodeo ticket purchase includes admission to the Osceola County Fair, which runs through the 19th and is adjacent to the Silver Spurs Arena.
