Commonly known as SELP, this Ocala landmark opened in 1945 and has hosted countless agricultural events, horse shows, rodeos and other competitions. The main arena, with grandstand-style seating for over 4,200, features one of the largest clear-span roofs south of Atlanta. SELP is only two miles north of downtown Ocala.
