JUNIOR MISS PAGEANT

proud to be the biggest show on the coast and has
had a long standing as a family-focused Rodeo. With
this in mind we are looking for young ladies in our
community that would desire to promote the western
way of life that comes from rodeo. Our future
is in our youth. This gives them a chance to
experience and grow knowing the western values and
sharing them in their community, state, and beyond.
