Beginning of my year!

When they said I would hit the road running they sure weren't lying! I literally have done just that. After being crowned January 16, 2011 I have been busy busy busy! My very first appearance as the new Miss Rodeo Montana 2011 was at the N.I.L.E fundraiser "Stetsons and Stilettos" it was great to be introduced in my hometown and from an organization I have been a part of for many years. Next I was off to the largest Kiddie Rodeo in the state in Lewistown MT. I got there a day early and had my first official meeting with my awesome National Director I also got see Kate and her beautiful new baby Delayne. That night I also got to take part in the Ringling Five concert. I had never seen this group of comical singers and also got pulled on stage during one of their songs to add color to the stage and act as a back up dancer! Overall the Kiddie Rodeo was a huge success and Amy and I had an awesome time and appreciate all that the Winter Fair and Mary Keer did for us. Amy and I left Lewistown and went directly to Billings for the Montana Hall and Wall dinner and auction. This year we recognized the "The Year of the Clown" and got to meet some world famous rodeo clowns. I was in great company with Amy Miss Teen Rodeo Montana 2011 and Hanna the Montana High School Rodeo Queen. What a great end to a great month, I could not have asked for a better January and cannot wait to see what this wonderful year has in store for me!

Until next time,
