Christmas is right around the corner, and while everyone loves to break out the ugly sweaters and bake cookies, many people experience stress when it comes to finding the ultimate holiday gift. Shopping for the perfect present when everyone seems to have everything already can make gift-giving extremely challenging. So why not consider giving the gift of an experience this holiday season? Check out three reasons why Kissimmee rodeo tickets make the best stocking stuffer!

1. The gift of experience is top tier!

In 2014, Cornell University professors submitted their findings to Psychological Science on people's feelings when receiving experiential purchases versus material purchases as gifts. As it turns out, researchers found experiential purchases bring more happiness than material purchases. By conducting surveys, researchers discovered that when people were asked to talk about past purchases, people spoke more about their experiences rather than their material gifts. When you gift Florida rodeo tickets, you are giving seven action-packed rodeo events, entertainment for all ages, and a memory that will last longer than the thrills of Christmas morning. Your kids will scream with excitement on Christmas morning, “We’re going to the rodeo!”

2. Local rodeo action can’t be beat!

Have you sat on the edge of your seat as local legends hang on for the thrill of 8 seconds? What about sitting in amazement as an 8-decade tradition of eight pairs square dance on horseback? This February, rodeo action returns to Osceola Heritage Park for the 148th edition of the Silver Spurs Rodeo! Nothing short of extreme entertainment will be presented during 3 rodeo performances, including bull riding, barrel racing, and steer wrestling! Also thrown in for added excitement is the calf scramble, where you can run with the calves and cheer loud and proud from the grandstands as the Silver Spurs Quadrille team puts on a show!

3. Accessible and affordable for the whole family!

The Silver Spurs Riding Club's mission is to maintain an affordable ticket price, so families don't have to “break the bank” to spend time together, which is why kids 10 and under are free! There’s more bang for your buck with Silver Spurs Rodeo tickets than what other Florida rodeos offer. For example, a February ticket to the Silver Spurs Rodeo also covers admission into the Osceola County Fair. So show up early, or stay late, play some fair games, ride the Ferris wheel, and indulge in some tasty fried fair food in addition to experiencing some awesome rodeo action. This year, ordering tickets as gifts is quick, easy, and can be completed online, perfect for those last-minute stocking stuffers!
