Saddle up on SunRail for a "daycation" cattle drive

Mark Monday, March 18^th in your datebook.

Get the day off from work, play hooky from school, and take SunRail to a “daycation” in Kissimmee to enjoy a rare event – a real deal cattle drive. (Cue “Rawhide”)

Our friends at Florida Daycations and Events have packaged an experience for visitors that will immerse them in the frontier spirit and culture that created Kissimmee. To sign up, click here.

We’re excited because until now, the Kissimmee cattle drive has been mainly a local event for Osceola residents.

Thanks to SunRail -- which started running into Osceola County last summer -- it’s easy for people throughout Central Florida to ride down to Kissimmee and saddle up. (Well maybe not saddle up, but you know what we mean.)

Many people may not realize that Florida is one of the biggest cattle states in the country, and Kissimmee is the heart of Florida cattle country.

Cowboys still live in Osceola County. Usually, you need to drive down to southern Osceola near Kenansville to see working cowboys. But on March 18^th there will be real cowboys and cowgirls and cattle lumbering down Broadway in the heart of Historic Downtown Kissimmee.

The experience Florida Daycations and Events packaged involves much more than witnessing the cattle drive but also soaking up Kissimmee’s frontier spirit and history.

Florida Daycations and Events guests will get to eat like a cowboy; go to a cowboy hoedown street party. There is a herd of extras, including a VIP area for Florida Daycations and Events guests. Most of all, it’s going to be fun!

See you in Kissimmee on March 18.
