Cowboys are coming to town! No, not the ones that just got knocked out of the NFL playoffs, the real cowboys. The Americom Pro Rodeo is riding into Lakeland January 29-30 for what could be one of the wildest weekends of the year. The top Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) cowboys and cowgirls battle it out for the largest prize purse in the southeast! A new feature this year that will make things interesting is the Bud Light Unrideable Six Pack Challenge featuring six of the top bucking bulls in the nation and will probably have you on the edge of your seat! PRCA Rodeo Clown of the Year Jerry Wayne Olson will also present one of the funniest acts in business. There are ticket specials all weekend, including Friday night when you can get 2 free kids tickets with the purchase of one full-priced adult ticket.

The rodeo will also take to the streets of downtown Lakeland once again with a parade that will feature cowboys, cowgirls, horses, cattle and decorated floats parading through the streets of downtown Lakeland starting at the corner of Bay Street and Tennessee Avenue continuing south on Tennessee to Lemon Street, turning right (west), crossing South Florida Avenue and arriving at rodeo headquarters, The Lakeland Center. Sheriff Grady Judd will be the Grand Marshall. Parade attendees are invited to The Lakeland Center Box Office immediately following the parade for a free Rootin’ Tootin’ Root Beer Festival with refreshments and family fun from 11am-1pm. Ticket purchasers will receive a special Buy One/Get One Free ticket discount from 11am-1pm. The Box Office will be open for ticket purchases from 10:00am-1:00pm.

To find out more about all the rodeo weekend happenings or to get tickets, check out The Lakeland Center website.
