KISSIMMEE, Fla. — The Silver Spurs Club has elected seventh-generation Osceola County native Henry Thacker as its 2026–2027 Big Boss, continuing a family legacy of leadership, volunteerism, and dedication to Osceola County’s Western heritage.
Thacker becomes the first person in Silver Spurs Club history whose mother and father, Clarence and Jo Thacker, both previously served as Big Boss.
Before being elected to lead the organization, Thacker served five years as Old Bossy, the club’s treasurer, helping oversee its financial stewardship and supporting its mission of community service.
“It is an incredible honor to serve as Big Boss of the Silver Spurs Club,” Thacker said. “This organization has meant so much to my family and to Osceola County for generations.”
Henry and his wife, Melissa, are raising their sons, Jon and Murray, around the traditions of rodeo, volunteerism, and community service. As Big Boss, Thacker will lead the organization through another year of rodeos, scholarships, charitable giving, and community events.
Founded in 1944, the Silver Spurs Club is supported by nearly 400 volunteer members and remains committed to preserving Osceola County’s ranching and rodeo heritage while giving back to the community.
