**The Great Florida Cattle Drive 2022 is December 4 – 10th, to celebrate previous drives and salute 500 years of Florida’s “cow culture.”

www.morningagclips.com reports, the drive will end in Kenansville with a Grand Trail’s End Celebration, which will include musicians, singers, storytellers, historians and re-enactors.

Dancers, singers and historians from Florida’s Seminole Tribe will be there to make the event more colorful and remind folks of the Seminoles’ importance to Florida’s development as a cattle power.
