For 60 years, the Cracker Day Rodeo has celebrated the tradition of working ranchers moving cattle throughout the state of Florida.
This weekend, the Lee County Posse Arena, at 17401 Palm Creek Drive, will host one of Lee County’s longest-running events for the 60th time featuring three days of performances, including the annual Pee-Wee and Junior Rodeo on Friday.
They have only missed 2018 in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.
“We’re getting a big response. The kids really love getting their time in,” said Bobbi Harrison, adding that the rodeo serves as the biggest fundraiser for the arena, which allows Lee County kids a place to ride their horses.
