The next week we headed to Billings for the Montana ProRodeo Hall and Wall of Fame Scholarship Dinner. I got to hand out sholarships to high school rodeo kids and to Jourdon. It was a great dinner and I got to see Linda and some other people that I hadn't seen for a while!
The next weekend (July 18-19) was the C.M. Russell Stampede in Stanford. Unfortunately Jourdon and I weren't able to stay for the rodeo on Sunday, but we did get to put on a kiddie rodeo and help with the Quick-Draw auction! I was so happy we got to atleast make it up for Saturday's events! The Stanford rodeo committee are huge supporters of Miss Rodeo Montana Inc., and they sponsor our buckles! Thank you to the committee for everything you do for us!
I got the opportunity to go to the Miss Rodeo America Clinic with Jourdon on July 18-21. I was the first Miss Teen Rodeo Montana to get to do so, and I need ot thank Miss Rodeo Montana Inc. for sending me!! It was a lot of fun, and I learned so much. The clinic was held at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, CO. We worked on horsemanship, impromptu speaking, speach, modeling, and expectations of a rodeo queen. This clinic gave me an idea of the level of competition and I would recommend it to any girl looking to become a rodeo queen!
July 23-24 was a weekend I had been looking forward to for a long time. That weekend was the Butte Rodeo! My Mom is from Fairmont where our family ranches, and where I learned to ride a horse. Most of the family still lives either on the ranch or around Butte, so I got to see a lot of my relatives. It meant so much to me that my Grandma, a few of my cousins, aunts and uncles were there! During the day we stayed out at the ranch and helped with haying, and roped the dummy for most of the weekend! I wouldn't have traded that time for the world. The rodeo went great and my horse Digger did awesome!
