The Daddy of 'Em All

We arrived at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo on a Sunday, but you wouldn't have know it was Sunday unless you looked at a calendar. The atmosphere on the grounds of the CFD makes it feel like it's always Friday! Most all of the state queens come to the PRCA Large Outdoor Rodeo of the Year to see for themselves the history and traditions that still stand for the western way of life that are preserved in this extraordinary rodeo. To accommodate all the girls who want to come, we applied to attend and Ms Arlene Kissinger rotated groups of girls in and out of days that we were assigned to be there (another reason that it is such a BIG deal). So the group I was in began our four days in the capital of Wyoming with a Taco John's party at Ms Kissinger's house and from there we went to see Sawyer Brown in concert on the rodeo grounds! Each day we either had a parade, breakfast, the rodeo, and other events that were planned for us to attend. From sun-up til way past sun-down we were having a great time representing the sport of professional rodeo as well as enjoying the activities of the CFD! It was nice to see old faces and meet new friends at the Daddy of 'Em All! The western way of life that the Cheyenne Frontier Days represents is something that everyone should see and attend! Please visit there website to get more info at www.cdfrodeo.com and enjoy what I saw while in Wyoming!

Daddy of 'Em All!! Pretty darn cool!

From the western grandstands looking eastward.

And now from the eastern grandstand looking westward.

This is from the eastern grandstands looking southward towards the time-event end.

And this is me being 'tough'! Do you believe it? Haha, cause I sure don't!

" Breakfast is served, come and get it!!"

The idea is to toss it onto the platter, but the trick is that you have a good catcher! Either my catcher didn't have his game face on or the pitcher was way off aim? Who knows.
I first met this gorgeous girl when she came as Lady in Waiting for the CFD Queen in Santa Fe a year ago at my rodeo! Now I came to visit her at her rodeo in Cheyenne! My really good friend who I admire, Kim Kuhn!!!

Oh and look who I found!! Miss Rodeo America Meagan Ridley, so I say to her, "Meagan, there are no sopapillas in Wyoming. We must travel south for that delectable treat!!"


All I can say is......this is a first.....and maybe the last, because this is in permanent ink!

Home with Amy Amack

In between the Colorado Springs rodeo and the Cheyenne Frontier Days, I went home with Miss Rodeo Nebraska Amy Amack for a few days. It was so nice to spend some time with her and do what we do best, catch up and do a little be a day work on her ranch! We didn't have to curl our her for her herd of Black Angus cattle, they don't really care just as long as we fee and water them! But we were able to catch up on some laundry and gear up for the Daddy of 'Em All! Amy lives in Chadron, NE, which is in the northwestern corner of Nebraska and 20 miles from the South Dakota border, so we took a trip to see Mt. Rushmore! Most of the girls went to the Rapid City, SD rodeo in February and visited the National Monument, however that was when my Coronation was held. But we made up for it and visited when it wasn't so cold! ;) Who said blondes weren't smart? Enjoy the pictures!

A great view from Amy's back porch!

MRNM at the entrance of Mt. Rushmore, the 47th State Admitted to the Union in 1912 (in case you didn't know or couldn't read the writing).

Could it be the 5th face? I'll let you decide. HaHa

Here we are!
Visiting Mt. Rushmore rekindled my patriot spirit, thanks George, Thomas, Theodore and Abraham!

A few of the happy cows in Nebraska. How ya doing girls?

Just like New Mexico except Nebraska is greener, has more grass and trees, a little more wind, it gets cooler at night, the cows tend to be fatter, and they accumulate much more snow than we do.
Yep, just like New Mexico? :)

The Highlight of My Year!

The most memorable trip I have had was when I traveled to Colorado Springs, CO. I arrived at the Denver International Airport a couple hours off the scheduled time due to some delays, instead of arriving at 3:00 PM, my plane landed at 5:30 PM. Miss Rodeo Nebraska Amy Amack and Miss Rodeo Alabama Victoria Jeffcoat picked me up in the "pink-mobile"! However, I walked out of the airport empty handed, my bags were misplaced! I was told that I would receive my bags before midnight, that night. We drove from Denver to Colorado Springs to stay with some family friends of Amy's. After we had met the family, I was given a hard time about what we rope in New Mexico and if you know me at all, I told these new friends that in New Mexico we rope for money! With that I was asked if I would like to enter a team roping that would happen on Saturday, of course I agreed! As night fell upon us and midnight approached us we figured my bags were late, again. So I stayed in a pair of camouflage sleep pants and an extra large hunting orange shirt. My bags finally came at 7:00 AM, twelve hours late to be exact. Once I had my luggage, things started to pick up for me. The week went well and before I knew it the team roping that I was to compete in was a 'Celebrity Roping' they told me and they would love for me to dress as Miss Rodeo New Mexico! Well, thats' just great I thought, there is no way that I can wear my 'Miss Rodeo New Mexico' sash it might get caught in the dally, and so I finally told myself to just Cowgirl Up and rope! When Saturday came, the people who had entered me had forgot to mention that this team roping was sponsored by the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and that the announcer was Bob Fiest, team roping contestants were Larry Mahan, Ted Nuce, Jon Davis, and Karl Stressman, just to name a few. I realized that this was no ordinary roping, in fact it was the Inaugural PRCA Commissioners' Classic! I roped with a local celebrity of Colorado Springs, Lynn Spears. We didn't do so well, those heelers will starve you every time and I would know cause I was heeling that day! But even though we weren't on our 'A-Game', that day will never be forgotten by Miss Rodeo New Mexico.

Karl Stressman, CEO and Commissioner of the PRCA, and myself!
