- History
- Bonifay Kiwanis Secretary/Treasurer Paul Bowyer suggested that the club try putting on a rodeo as a fundraising activity. He pointed out there were plenty of livestock and cowboys in the area. On December 6-8, 1946, the Bonifay Kiwanis Club hosted the first rodeo. Onlookers stood behind the pasture-type fence that surrounded the field or sat on bales of hay as they watched the rodeo. Kiwanians and their wives operated the concession stands and ticket booths. The club agreed to hold the rodeo annually on the first weekend in October because it was said that it virtually never rained on that weekend.
