First of all, I want thank the girls that tried out for Miss Eugene, Jessica Shaffer and Whitney Richey. It was great to see the hard work that everyone put in and getting to know Jessica. I'm very thankful that Whitney was there, becaue we were both on The Yoncalla Rodeo court in 2008 together and I definitly needed someone to vent with at the tryouts when my WHITE hat came off during our first flag run. Talk about a nightmare! Good luck to Whitney who is trying out for the South Douglas Queen title this weekend, hope to see both of you at the rodeo this summer!
Well the coronation was in the Feed Room at Oregon Horse Center and I was surprised to see the entire room fill up! Earlier that day, Beth Oberst (family friend and OHSET drill coach) assisted me in picking out the perfect brown pants for my becoming-queen-outfit, which was a huge help. So many people came out to support me and I am very greatful! I was happy to have Natalie Napier be visiting royalty as the 2009 Sutherlin Stampede Queen. She was also part of the Yoncalla court in 2008.
Many MANY picutres later, (thanks mom) I got to talk with a few of the people who make the Eugene Pro Rodeo a success, like the owner of Oregon Horse Center, Major Defoe; the announcer, Wayne White; and the 2008/2009 Queen, Rachel Anderson. I also met some people from the rodeo committee like Chris and Miranda Sloan, Larry Von Moos and his wife Char, and many others! I look forward to working with everyone and having a great year.
Dusty and I look forward to traveling the state as the Eugene Pro Rodeo Queen and Cute-Pony :)
