Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.
The photo above was shared to our PinIt! page by our own ClickO writer, Jacob Langston. He’s a photographer, so of course all of his photos look incredible and this particular one was from his trip to Hawaii a few months ago!
I love seeing travel pictures on our PinIt! page. Be sure to share yours!
Now, let’s get to why y’all are really here and jump into what’s happening ⤵️
If you’re looking for something fun to do in the AC, how about swapping your flip-flops for some cowboy boots? 🤠
The 153rd Silver Spurs Rodeo is back in action in Kissimmee this weekend.
“There’s bull riding, which is a fan fave, and the cowboy gets on a bull and tries to stay on for eight seconds,” said Sara Berlinksy, the Big Boss of the Silver Spurs Riding Club. “There’s team roping, steer wrestling. There’s something for everybody.”

WHO’S HUNGRY? 🤤
Starting this weekend, over 30 Orlando restaurants will offer special menus through June and early July.
Bite30 offers special prix fixe menus for multi-course dinners at $35.
And honestly, that’s a pretty decent deal for appetizer, entrée and dessert when most times you end up paying that much at a restaurant just for an entrée!
Here are the restaurants participating and what menus they are offering.
