We are pleased to be able to announce that this year’s Polk County Cattlemen’s Association Trade Show and Ranch Rodeo, co-sponsored by UF/IFAS Extension Polk County, will be on Saturday, May 7th. The COVID pandemic forced us to miss 2021 and, for this year, we are hosting the event later in the year. We expect to return to a February date in the future. We would like to invite you to exhibit and/or support this event. This will be the sixteenth year for our trade show and the fourteenth for our Ranch Rodeo, both of which have been a success and drawn a great crowd. The event will be held at the Bartow Horse Arena at the Polk County Agri-Civic Center at 1702 Highway 17 South in Bartow. The Trade Show will be held in the arena adjacent to the rodeo arena under a 40’x100’ tent.
