Crowds showed up in Jay , Fla. Friday and Saturday night to watch and participate in the 18th annual Jay Pro Rodeo. The two night event began at 8 p.m. nightly and stretched far into the evening hours.
Vendors were set up to serve everything from hotdogs and hamburgers to leather crafted purses and belts. The mechanical bull made its annual appearance to cause the laughs of young and old alike as daring guys and gals tried their hand at staying upright on the bucking bull.
As the cowboys and cowgirls were in the arena, a bouncy house was also there as children entertained themselves for hours sliding down the slippery slide.
A crowd favorite was the 'Catch the Calf' event as the children took center stage to try their hand at chasing down the calf.
The annual event draws participants and attendees from all over the south.
