Cowboy Heritage Festival and the Florida Ranch Rodeo State Finals
September 23, 2009
The Crackers you’ll find at the Cowboy Heritage Festival ain’t your Mama’s Saltines.
They’re cowboys, they’re tough-as-beef-jerky and they’re going to be celebrated at the Cowboy Heritage Festival and the Florida Ranch Rodeo State Finals in Kissimmee on Oct. 2-3, 2009. Besides the always-interesting rodeo action – barrel racing, bull and bronco riding, steer wrestling – the festival will feature:
• Sunshine State Musicians
• Whip Cracking Contest (you might ask these cowboys how the name “Cracker” came to be)
• Authentic Cracker Cow Hunter Cow Camps
• Authentic South Eastern Tribes Native American Encampment
• Living History Encampments
• Storytellers
• Cowboy Poetry
• Cowboy Artists
• Leather Crafters
• Saddle Makers
• Whip Plaiters
• Beef Cook-off
• Swamp Cabbage Cooking
I reckon you should gallop on over to Kissimmee and check it out! Looking for ideas for after-the-rodeo fun? Take a peek at this video.
