Miss Rodeo Iowa Clinic

Amanda Eason, Miss Rodeo Iowa 2007 is AMAZING! She put the clinic together, arranged all the speakers and took care of everything. The clinic was very organized, each speaker did a wonderful job and there was a lot of information given.

I was able to help out and give a presentation on preparing for a pageant. I talked about what to study, gave some tips on how to study and when to start studying.


If you are interested in becoming a rodeo queen or would like to gain more knowledge in all areas of the competition, keep an eye on the Miss Rodeo Iowa website for details on next years clinic.

Until next time, "God blesses those who realize their need for Him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them." Matthew 5:3

God Bless,

Two Trips in One Week!

My first trip was to Eastern Iowa. I was able to ride in the Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Cedar Rapids. I can’t thank Randy Kuehl Honda enough for their sponsorship this year. I had a wonderful Saint Patrick’s Day in Cedar Rapids. There were two Honda cars in the parade and I was able to ride in the back of a Honda Ridgeline.

Boy, was there a lot of people in green! Thankfully the sun showed up right as the parade started, so it was a very pleasant ride through downtown Cedar Rapids.
Again I would like to thank Randy Kuehl Honda for their support this year. I would not traveling all over the state and country without their generosity and support!

On Friday my mom and I headed off to Franklin, TN. I attended the Miss Rodeo Tennessee queen clinic on Saturday and Sunday. It was very nice of my mom to ride along…okay I’ll admit it, I did most of the riding…and she drove! But it was nice to have some company for the long drive! On the way there is was about 11 hours, but thankfully the traffic wasn’t bad on the way home so we made it in about 10.
It was a wonderful clinic put on by Kelly Azevedo, the Miss Rodeo Tennessee Pageant Director and clinician Amanda Jenkins, Miss Rodeo America 2006. They both provided so much information. I had a wonderful time and look forward to heading back to Franklin this summer for the Miss Rodeo Tennessee Pageant and rodeo.

Iowa Public Television Festival

On Sunday evening I hope you tuned into IPTV because Hannah, Miss Teen Rodeo Iowa and I were there helping them with their festival. The festival takes place through March 21 and it gives Iowan’s and surrounding states a chance to support the programming they enjoy all year long. We arrived at 6:30, had a little training and then went live. Throughout the evening we took calls; getting pledges and asking callers a few questions. We did make it on TV a few times during the night! There were a few callers that specifically called in to talk to the girls in the cowgirl hats!

Hannah and I had a great time! All of the volunteers were so much fun and IPTV was very generous in providing a meal as well as snacks throughout the night.
I will be heading to Franklin, TN this weekend for a queen clinic!
Until next time, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32
God Bless,
