Does anyone know if the Kissimmee Rodeo is still there. My sister is in Florida at the moment and was hoping to go on Friday night she was speaking to someone who said the arena had closed and the land was for sale.[msncry]

We went to it in June, and it was definitely still there!
Their website is still up & running too - www.ksarodeo.com

Just had a quick look and the website says 'closed for December'.
So looks as though it should still be on now.

There is another larger Rodeo on the US192 called the Silver Spurs Rodeo and even ESPN televise some of the events.

When you go, they announce that they are open every Friday at 8pm, but they close for the month of December...

The rodeo is closing for good in September. I believe the last one is on 1st September. It's a shame because we enjoyed a night at the rodeo!
:(:(

That is a real shame. Haven't yet got around to doing this, will be there for the 1st September, so will make a note to make sure we go.

Just checked the silver spur rodeo website and it's definitely open for business. check out [website link edited] they have a full calender of events and as mentioned previously ESPN live shows.
Caryn, it's not the Silver Spurs, it's Kissimmee Rodeo that gwendolinemary says is closing down, although I can't find out anything on their website about closing.

oops! Sorry, got carried away there. I've always wanted to the Silver Spur and so far haven't got round to it, always something else to do.

I read about the KSA rodeo closing on another forum. I don't think they're very good at keeping their web-site up-to-date! Isn't the Silver Spurs Rodeo an annual event? It's much bigger than the ksa one I think, although we've never been lucky enough to be in Florida when it's on.

We are going there tonight, so will find out if and when it is closing.
Seems you're going to the penultimate rodeo Tricia as I've just had email confirmation from Kissimmee Rodeo that they definitely are closing on 01 September, which is their final rodeo.

Yes Blott, they announced it last nite, but did not give a reason as to why it was closing. I managed to get some boiled peanuts though:D, last time we went they were all sold out, so I had to try them this time - if you never tried them, you are not missing anything, they are like eating baked beans ugh!!!

This one is once a year, it is the part if the bigest Rodeo tour, all the best riders go. The whole of Kissimee has a 'Rodeo Day'. You find most business will be in fancy dress, lots of fun stuff going on. Its a bit like the FA cup final coming to your local town.

Boiled peanuts? Had some once, they are totally disgusting and more like eating cardboard! [sick] [sick]

Penultimate means last but one Olive.
Their last performance was on 01 September so, sadly, Kissimmee Rodea no longer exists. [msncry]

Thanks for that Blott but we can still go to Silver Spurs , my poor husband has really wanted to go for our last 3 trips now but somehow the kds always managed to have a full diary on Friday nights . Maybe next year we will travel out to Silver spurs .
Silver Spurs operates very few periods of the year so you need to be there at the right time! In 2006 is 6th, 7th and 8th October. It was also on 17th, 18th and 19th February.

on my to do list, bet it grows by this tine next year!!
fingers crossed!
I'm really sorry to hear about Kissimmee Rodeo closing down. We made a point of visiting there every time we are out. It was always a great night out and if you wanted to stay for the line dancing afterwards, you could be guaranteed a good laugh.
