Quite an exciting day in Las Vegas -- the first day of the Miss Rodeo America Pageant. Chris Wade, the gal from Heber who is representing the Beehive State, arrived ready to compete. Thanks to the Miss Rodeo Utah organization, our Miss Rodeo Utah, dressed in a buckskin skirt and vest, was whisked from the airport to the Orleans Hotel and Casino in a black stretch limo. After a restless night in the hotel, Chris officially checked in as a contestant in this year's national pageant. All eyes were on Chris, who was clad head to toe in dark-washed Wrangler denim. Her painted red-and-turquoise boots, emblazoned with scenes from Utah's landscape, matched her chunky necklace, bracelet and belt. We're biased, but we think she looked phenomenal. Chris' family would like to thank all of Chris' supporters. It's taken 13 years to get here -- and we wouldn't be here without all of your help, love and support. Up tomorrow: Horsemanship at 9 a.m. Check http://www.shooterenterprises.com/ for more photos of Chris and other contestants at this year's Miss Rodeo America Pageant.
