HHPS is please to bring you Mr. James P. McAlister as our October Guest Speaker. Mr. McAlister will tell us about the QUINCENTENNIAL CELEBRATION of the GREAT FLORIDA CATTLE DRIVE.
The Great Florida Cattle Drive 2022 will be held December 4 - 10th, with 500 participants helping take 1000 head of cattle through some of the last "Old Florida" style lands.
To celebrate the previous drives and to salute the 500 years of Florida’s “cow culture” they will once again be driving cattle, riding the trail, sleeping on the ground and living the life of our ancestors; even if only for a few days. The drive will end in Kenansville with a Grand Trail’s End Celebration which will include musicians, singers, poets, storytellers, historians and re-enactors. Dancers, singers and historians from the Seminole Tribe of Florida will be there to make the event more colorful and to remind folks that the Seminoles were an important factor in this state's development as a cattle power; and remain so to this day.
