On Saturday, July 30, 2022 we held the Wayne Rodeo Queen Pageant in Loa. We had a great day with these darling contestants, their families and their horses. We started out with Sandy Allred the reigning 2021 Rodeo Queen 1st attendant presenting the colors while Jenna Erickson, Kamrie Peterson and Reiss Giles sang the national anthem.
Following the opening ceremony we went to the multipurpose building for the introducing of the contestants and the judges. Ashton Brian was our announcer and she did a fantastic job. The interviews were after the introductions and modeling, then it was off to lunch (provided by Royal’s Market) at the Snack Shack and getting their horses ready for the horsemanship portion of the competition.
The girls (and their parents) all did a great job with their horses and put a lot of work into getting ready for the pageant.
Following the horsemanship patterns and an additional interview regarding knowledge of the horse, we headed back for the results and crowning of the new 2022 Wayne Rodeo Queen Royalty.
