Queen's Cup
Fundraiser-
The Wasco County Fair and
Rodeo Queen Hailee Olheiser and I held the annual Queen's Cup
Fundraiser this year at the Double H arena. This was a chance for
everyone to get their horses out of the pasture and run them for the
first time since last year. we had a couple of riders hit the dirt
but all together everyone had a
great time.
First Round-up
Playday-
This was my first playday as
the queen, I had alot of fun and really enjoyed it. We had a
good turn out of participates and great food. I was the official
prize-passer-outer and I got mingle with everyone.
Cherry Parade/My
Luncheon-
We really got lucky this year with the weather during that parade
being perfect for spectators and participants. As the first
parade of the year my horse was excited to get to the parade and
excited for it to be over. It was great to see all the
support from the club that showed up to ride and watch the
parade. As soon as the parade was over I went to my luncheon.
We had a good turn out of rodeo queens and once again we had
wonderful food.
Arlington
Parade-
Everyone warned me about how
short The Arlington Parade was but I didn't believe them until I got
there. This parade consists of people on one city block and an
announcer with a microphone and a speaker. Even though it was
short I had fun waving and talking to the "crowd". After the
parade I went to the queens luncheon. It was decorated to pretty,
the curtains even matched the table
clothes!
4-D Barrel
Race-
This was the first Riders Club
event I have rode in as The Queen. I had a blast announcing,
helping set up knocked barrels with other Junior Riders
Members and riding my extremely overweight horse. He did really
good for only being rode two weeks since last summer. To top it all
off I won 3rd place in my class!
Wasco County Fair & Rodeo Queen’s
Coronation
My first event as the Fort Dalles Riders Association Queen was the Wasco
County Fair & Rodeo Queen's coronation. I got to meet all
the new 2008 Royalty and wear my new Silverbelly hat.
Fort Dalles Riders Queen
Coronation
My coronation began with a rocky
start. We left the chocolate to stay hot in the crock pot and
it burned, with the help of the Covert’s,
new chocolate appeared, the fountain was perfect and no one
knew the difference. Everyone arrived, we had desserts, I was
crowned and the silent auction was busy, busy, busy. We got so wrapped up in all the
festivities that we just plain forgot to cut the cake. I don’t think anyone noticed
as the sweets were abound.
I was overwhelmed by all the support of my
Family, Friends, and fellow Club Members. The Silent Auction was a
success and I am thankful to everyone that attended.
Fort Dalles Days
Pro Rodeo Queen Coronation
The Fort Dalles
Days Pro Rodeo Queen was my latest event. It was the
first time I got to introduce my self as the FDRA Queen in front of
a group that large.
Read Across
America (Dr. Seuss
Birthday)
This is a day when people go to schools and
read to kids to increase the children's likeness of reading. I
went with Hailee Olheiser, the Wasco Co.
Fair & Rodeo Queen, to Dry Hollow Elementary
school and read to Mrs. Shepherd's
4th-5th grade class. Mrs. shepherd was my 2nd and 4th grade
teacher. It was really fun seeing her again and answering all
the kids questions about what I do.
After we read, each kid made a "Cat in the Hat"
treat.
H.U.G.S.
Fair
The HUGS fair is a children's safety
fair in at Henkle School in White Salmon,
WA. Hailee Olheiser and I made brown
paper vest and paper crowns with the kids. Each kid made a
vest or crown and we stamped their passport. I made a vest for
myself that I must say is amazing with lots of safely stickers on
it. |
