My son and I love the Gator Boys on t.v., it’s one of our favorite shows. Last week where invited to go to the local fair with some friends. I picked up a show program when we got there but I never really looked at it. As we where getting ready to leave we heard someone talking about the Gator Boys alligator wrestling show taking place in the fair. My son and I looked at each other and with the other 4 kids in tow raced over to see the show. It was an unexpected blessing to get to see them up close and in person!

 At the end of the show we got to meet Jimmy Riffle and some of the other Gator Boys after the show. My kids got their autographs and a picture taken with them. What a great down to earth bunch of men! If you do not watch their show, I would so encourage you to do so! They are out there helping animals not harming them!

  1. Thats really cool, glad you got to experience that!

  2. Gators!! Oh, this reminds me of that one day my mom took my older sister and me (I was 2) to a petting zoo and I tried to take a baby gator home (I already had it by the tail!).

  3. WOW! It is wonderful that you were able to experience this Up Close and Personal! I’m certain your boys will remember this for a very long time!

  4. That’s so awesome that you got their autographes!

  5. How cool! I know my boys would love to meet them in person! We have a Gator Farm close to us that we visit. They let the boys hold small little baby alligators, and some a little bigger, that had their mouths taped shut. They are amazing animals.

  6. my kids would get a kick out of meeting the gator boys too!

  7. What a great opportunity to meet them! Glad your family had fun!

  13. Wow what an interesting adventure.

  14. I think my husband would love to meet the Gator Boys, too.

  15. I went to an alligator farm when I visited Florida. It was so fun to see the show and feed the alligators. I give the guys a lot of credit for working with the alligators.

  16. How fun! My son would go crazy if he got to see these guys in action.

  17. I can’t believe those boys do that with gators. They are so scary looking!! We watch another TV program like that, but Brody doesn’t – not yet at least.

  20. I’m not familiar with Gator Boys, but I can tell by your words and the kid’s faces how excited they were! So awesome.

  21. I’m in Florida and have a healthy respect for alligators. My grand kids have gone to some field trips of local alligator places and found out a lot of educational things.

  44. That’s so awesome and how fun for your kids!!

  45. That looks like something my son would enjoy so much! I’m sure it’s a boy thing but he would be so excited! Wish I could take him there.

  62. Haven’t heard of the Gator Boys before – looks like you had a blast!

  63. Those things reeeeeally scare me!!! Glad we don’t have them here, except for the occasional ‘pet’ turned loose in the lakes.

  64. Wow. I kinda want to see that – and maybe not. I wouldn’t want to witness that accident if it ever happens!
    Looks exciting though!

  65. There’s a local reptile zoo that tours around to schools and stuff — they will even do birthday parties.
    I went to one of those….. imagine my surprise to see my 5 year old daughter cuddling up to an alligator, touching a python, and letting a tarantula crawl on her arm!!
    girls braver than me!

  66. My son would absolutely love that! I am not sure my four year old would do well, she is already afraid of alligators. (She is a typical four year old and is afraid of anything with big teeth πŸ™‚

  67. My brother would definitely love this Gator boys.. πŸ™‚

  68. That’s the coolest thing to have a photo with them and have autograph. I saw the show a couple of times. It was nice!
