The highly anticipated Miss Silver Spurs Pageant is set to begin tonight at 6pm in the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee and is open to the public. This year, the Miss Silver Spurs Pageant will be live-streamed from Osceola Heritage Park by Positively Osceola.
Every June, young ladies from around Osceola County compete across three age divisions: Miss Silver Spurs, Junior Miss Silver Spurs, and Little Miss Silver Spurs. This year’s pageant will once again be held at the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee and is open to the public.
The current Miss Silver Spurs Court includes Miss Silver Spurs Riley DeRosa, Junior Miss Silver Spurs Lindsey Yma, and Little Miss Silver Spurs Ivey Rousch. These young women have represented their titles with grace and dedication, and tonight, new titleholders will be crowned to carry on the tradition.
People are familiar with the glamour found in the Miss America Pageant, but the glamour isn’t limited to just one organization. In 1955, International Rodeo Management (IRM) developed the concept of Miss Rodeo America and held its first pageant later that year. Combining the action of rodeo with the beauty and fashion you’d normally find in a pageant, it wouldn’t be long before young women and girls from across the country created their own Miss Rodeo titles.
After 16 years of putting on rodeos, the Silver Spurs Rodeo was gaining a reputation for not only having the biggest purse (also known as prize money) East of the Mississippi but also for being a fun, family-friendly event. In 1960, the Silver Spurs Riding Club created the title of Miss Silver Spurs to help spread the word about the Silver Spurs Rodeo during community events and when visiting other rodeos. Successfully grabbing the attention of audiences across Central Florida, the Silver Spurs Riding Club would go on to add the titles of Little Miss Silver Spurs in 1972 and Junior Miss Silver Spurs in 2014.
The newly crowned Miss Silver Spurs court will become the ambassadors for the Silver Spurs Rodeo and will be introduced during the 153rd Silver Spurs Rodeo on Friday, May 31st, and Saturday, June 1st. Get your tickets to the rodeo now at SilverSpursRodeo.com!
Don’t miss this enchanting event that celebrates the beauty, talent, and spirit of Osceola County’s young women.
