National Western Stock Show- Denver, Colorado




Today I arrived in Denver for the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. First thing I ran in to Miss Rodeo Wyoming, Erin Heffron and Miss Rodeo Nebraska, Michelle Boeshart. Now Utah has a little different program than most state pageants in that we don't have a "lady-in-waiting", so I won Miss Rodeo Utah in July and competed in Las Vegas in December. In other states they win in around June, start their reign January 1st, and compete the following December. Most of the girls that I travel with now are not girls that I competed with in Las Vegas for Miss Rodeo America. Its a little different but I'm lucky to get to meet two groups of great ladies. There were quite a few state rodeo queens attending the rodeo in Denver and even more were arriving later in the week after I left but they had a lot of fun activities planned throughout the whole program. Tonight at the rodeo I got to carry an event sponsor flag and help with the mutton bustin.
