25th Annual Black Cowboy Festival

What can I say? It was blazing hot in the wide open, treeless field and the lines to enter were a wee long and slow (until the credit card machine went down PTL and PS what line in a blazing hot open fiend ISN’T too long and slow?!), but the 25th Annual black Cowboy Festival in Rembert, SC was a fired up HIT!

In addition to the horse shows, barrel races and other performances, you know I was chasing the rodeo STYLE, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. Most important of all, I don’t think I have ever experienced a nicer crowd of people in all my life. The most ideal family friendly environment!

🐎 Mission: The Mission of the Black Cultural Enlightenment Society is to enlighten the community awareness on the attributes of the African American culture of yesterday and today and to expose youth, as well adults, to the art of horsemanship.

👁 Vision: To create a community- based flow of resources that will meet the needs of youth and adults through agriculture, arts, music, diversity, and education.

🌍 Goals: 1. Improve the quality of community relations through the unification of people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
