The RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo

A weekend long event, the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo is indeed an all-weekend event and not

just a strand of individual shows. You can bring your family for the bull riding, but you’ll end up

staying for the vast opportunities for family fun that surround this adrenaline pumping event.

Throughout the rodeo weekend, cowboys compete in showdowns each day to see who can score the

best times in a variety of events that include: bareback and saddle bronc riding, team roping, team rope

heeling, steer wrestling, tie down roping, barrel racing and the ever popular bull riding. The top four

overall best scores in each event will make it to the final showdown on the last night of the rodeo,

where they will duke it out Wild West style for the win.

The Florida Heritage BBQ Classic held its annual debut this year at the RAM Nationals Circuit Finals

Rodeo, where competitors from across the country came to showcase their incredible range of barbecue

flavors for a chance at the $25,000 prize purse. There is plenty of good old-fashioned BBQ to order up

and enjoy in between rounds of steer wrestling and calf roping, while listening to the live music and

enjoying the gorgeous Florida sun.

Also available at the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo is the Fan Zone, where fans can line up to

meet the stars of the show, get autographs or just have some good clean fun in between shows.

Adventurous activities are available here for guests of all ages, including free mechanical bull rides, the

chance to hold a real live alligator and even a photo booth complete with silly props to help you

commemorate your visit to the rodeo.

Bring the kids along and let them enjoy the vast kid’s zone with its bounce houses, inflatable slide,

obstacle course, laser tag and rock climbing wall, all free of charge. Sit and relax while the kids enjoy

hours of fun in between rodeo rounds.
