Immokalee Cattle Drive & Jamboree
Posted
Special to the Immokalee Bulletin

The event is free with food and drink available for purchase. The cattle drive starts at 9:30 a.m. along Main Street in Immokalee led by cattle boss Clint Raulerson. The drive is preceded by an honorary procession including descendants of the Roberts family and dignitaries in the cattle industry. The drive leads to Roberts Ranch, a former farmstead listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operated as a Collier County museum. Activities and entertainment kick off when the cows come home and include storytelling, roping and whip cracking demonstrations, alligator wrestling, traditional food demonstrations, music, craft and food vendors, and so much more. Bring the whole family to the kids’ corral with petting zoo, games and crafts. Due to temporary road closures for the cattle drive, it is recommended that observers are situated by 9:00 a.m. A free shuttle service will be provided to the cattle drive route and back, so bring a lawn chair and enjoy the show! Come early to support 4-H and the Immokalee Livestock Show with a pancake breakfast beginning at 8:00 a.m. ($4/person).
