“Kim Riley and friends” have volunteered to run the 50/50 this spring. So participate in this worthwhile cause and have no worries about having to “sell the tickets.”
Contestants interested in running for Event Director & Student Officer for next season should contact Tricia Schaffer or Brandy Brown.
Class pictures will be taken at the Stapleton H.S. Rodeo. We are taking this at Stapleton so more contestants will have a chance to be in their class picture. This will be used in our calendar.
And there’s more. You will also win a saddle of your choice, buckle, money for travel and the opportunity to meet other cowgirls and cowboys from 47 states, Canadian provinces and Australia! This chance only comes once a year and is available to cowgirls who are in grades 9, 10 and 11 and members of the Nebraska High School Rodeo Association.
What’s the catch? Compete in the 2012 Nebraska High School Rodeo Queen Contest! Rules for the contest can be found in your national rulebook. The contest will take place in Hastings prior to the start of the state finals rodeo.
