61 Years of Ol’ American Entertainment: Homestead Rodeo 2010

Is it a big Deal? Of course it is!
Once again, Krome Avenue staged the annual rodeo parade. Hundreds of people arrived early this morning to secure a spot on the sidewalks of downtown Homestead. Children anxiously waited for candy while the floats made their way through the streets of Homestead and cheerfully greeted everyone.
Okay, let’s face it, this is like our Macy’s parade. It doesn’t get any better! We don’t have the elaborate balloons or Taylor Swift hosting the show, but it is a wonderful family event sponsored by the local commerce and government. It is all about the horses, big trucks, the Mahi Shrine members on go-carts, children from local schools and the infallible poop-scooper. Oh yes, the horses are beautiful but … let’s just say, God bless the poop-scooper boy!
The highlight of the parade, a Florida Panther. Not a hockey player, but the real thing. It was an amazing sight and surprisingly not as big as imagined. Hardly ever we have the opportunity to see one of these creatures up close. So it was a real treat to the Homestead audience.
And if you missed the parade, you still have a chance to enjoy the rodeo at Harris Field until tomorrow. As for next year, well, let’s ll cross our fingers for an awesome host, or better, an awesome concert. Hey, why not? But wouldn’t it be something to have Taylor, Tim, Martina, Keith, Toby and even The Dixie Chicks heading down south to spice up the Southernmost Rodeo in the Continental U.S.A? Make your wishes come true , tell it to the Homestead Rodeo Association.
See ya’ll ’round town!
Yee haw!
