Wow! It is hard to believe Christmas and New Years have already come and gone. It seems like only yesterday I was eagerly anticipating going to Las Vegas for the Miss Rodeo America Pageant. Over the past few months I have been working hard on not only arranging my travel schedule, school schedule (May cannot come soon enough :)), working with sponsors both new and old, and of course having the time of my life beginning traveling as Miss Rodeo New Mexico.

At Cesar's Palace...

The Miss Rodeo America Pageant was an awesome experience. I highly recommend this to ANYONE, rodeo queen or not. Each of the girls did a wonderful job of representing their state. Kelly did an awesome job representing New Mexico and I know I have a big pair of boots to fill!!

Over the week I was able to attend a multitude of fun events, like the Lady in Waiting bowling parting which I am proud to announce I was not the workst bowler there!! In addition to funfilled activities with the girls I am going to travel with all year I was able to watch the Fashion Show, Speaches, and tons of other awesome activities.

My first official trip as MRNM was to the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver, CO. I know why past queens have told me this is one of the greatest trips. Jodie Witt along with the staff of the Courtyard Marriott at Stapleton were awesome and so welcoming. Mrs. Witt worked hard on ensuring each of the state queens had lots of opprotunities to help during the rodeos. During this trip I was able to accomplish two goals of mine: 1) Riding Cervi's set of black horse (yes the one used at the NFR!!) and 2) Riding a draft horse. I was so excited to be able to carry sponsor flags, event flags, and even the NWSS flag in the grand opening! It was amazing to be able to help out! Riding the Express Ranch Clysdale was a truly amazing experience. The almost 19 HAND horse was definately the biggest horse I have ever rode or probably ever will!! A big thanks to all the guys that allowed me to do this!!


Carl and Kathy Wilkinson!

WESA a dream come true for anyone that loves to shop until they drop! I would like to say thank you to Gene and Kelly for allowing me to be their guest into the Denver International Market. While there I was able to speak with many sponsor and come in contact with many other potential sponsors. I had an amazing time, and my feet and still recovering!

I am so excited for the first NM rodeo, Rio Rancho for the NM Stampede. Along with the rodeo I am getting to go to the Legislature I will let everyone know how that goes!

I would like to take this time to thank my newest sponsor Haarmeyer Electric!!! They are an amazing group of people that I am so glad to have as a new GOLD SPONSOR! Go and check out their website and be sure to support a wonderful sponsor of Miss Rodeo New Mexico!http://haarmeyerelectric.com/
