Wednesday morning got under way with the Fashion Show. The contestants, Miss Rodeo Oregon Jackie and Miss Rodeo Nevada Andrea worked hard on learning their Surfin’ USA dance routine. If you were unable to be there, you missed a great dance. After the dance the contestants were rushed off stage to change in to their formal western gowns. In these gowns they modeled, gave their speeches and answered three impromptu questions. These beautiful gowns ranged in color of light blues to black. The second part of the Fashion Show was the Scholarship Auction. Each contestant was asked to bring an item to be auctioned off. They brought items like necklaces, bottles of wine, custom “Barbie” rodeo queens and handmade quilts. I would like to say a huge thank you to my supports; Stephanie Hedin – Fashion Show Director, St. Paul Elementary School, Annie Bishop – Dance Teacher, Flash for coming at the last moment to help with the sound system and all the other supports that helped make this portion of the pageant the success it was!!
The last judged event was the MROP luncheon with its theme of Tough Enough to Wear Pink. At this event the contestants had a mock tv interview with Fox 12’s Kimberly Maus. On the car ride from St. Paul to the Yamhill Grill the contestants received their speech topic. This topic followed how PRCA and its partners give back to those in need. The contestants had to answer questions on the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund. The contestants did a wonderful job and entertained the crowd. A special thanks goes to Yamhill Grill, Kimberly Maus, Nichole Andrews, Debbie Brownell , Diane Overstreet and Lynn Haynes.
