IN CASE OF EMERGENCY CALL 911

Join us February 16 and 17, 2024!

The Old Ford Volunteer Fire Department invites you to come out to the Senator Bob Martin Eastern Agricultural Center and enjoy an authentic rodeo. Our rodeo is sanctioned by the SRA/IPRA (Southern Rodeo Association). The SRA boasts of being the oldest rodeo association East of the Mississippi River.  Members of the association come from as far north as Canada, as far south as Florida, and as far west as Oklahoma. Cowboys and cowgirls compete for 12 spots in the Southern Finals Rodeo held each year. 

Come see bull riding, team roping, calf roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing, bareback and saddle bronc riding.  This event is fun for the whole family, and we take pride in providing the community with a good, clean, family-oriented event.

We offer a Saturday afternoon matinee show which is a great opportunity for “kids” of all ages to enter the arena before the show to meet the cowboys and cowgirls, learn to rope, ride a horse, and maybe even pet a live bull! Bring the family for pony rides, pictures on the mechanical bull, and don’t forget to take home a souvenir from one of our many great vendors!
