Buckin' broncs battle cowboys in Homestead

The 29th Annual Championship Rodeo will be held this weekend at the Homestead Rodeo Grounds on U.S. 1 just south of Homestead. Sponsored by the Homestead Rodeo Association, this year's event will attract cowboys from all across the country and is expected to draw at least 15,000 spectators. The rodeo opened Saturday morning with a parade through downtown Homestead, and the action moved in the afternoon to FIU, Miami-Dade Community the rodeo grounds where championship stock and cowboys competed in such events as Brahma bull riding, steer wrestling and bronc busting. This year's rodeo will also feature a barrel race for girls, the Florida Blue Grass singers, and precision riding by the Homestead Everglades Posse. On the perimeter of the rodeo arena, local clubs, charitable organizations and civic groups have set up booths and concession stands. The Miccosouki Indians, who come each year from their 40-Mile Bend Reservation, will be selling Indian jewelry, handcrafts, and "Indian Bread."
