Fun at CHSFR!! 🇨🇦🤠👑
What duties do queens usually do at rodeos?
Here’s some fun things we have done at most rodeos throughout the season:
🐴 Grand entry for every performance, junior and high school. We carry the Canadian flag, provincial flags and sponsor flags!
🎟️ Fundraising with things like 50/50, raffle tickets, queen draws, selling programs and day sheets, selling dance tickets. Some rodeos also have basket draws and online fundraising.
🗣️ A huge part of our roles is mingling with people and talking to rodeo athletes, fans, volunteers and anyone around the grounds! This is a great chance to educate and share the importance of rodeo culture!
💐 At lots of rodeos there are parades that we ride in! This is a fun experience and helps us to learn about the town we are being hosted by.
🤠 At most rodeos we have the opportunity to help with things like chasing out stock, kids wild pony racing and anything else to keep the rodeo performance running smoothly!
🎗️Especially at pro rodeos there is often a day for cancer awareness where we all wear pink or a day to honour the golden circle of champions where we all wear yellow scarves. Raising funds and awareness while helping and encouraging those affected by cancer is a very important cause.
🥞 Surprisingly, pancake breakfasts seem to be a large part of rodeo and most will have lots of little cowboys and cowgirls stuffing their mouths while getting ready to watch their rodeo heros!
👵🏻 Visiting seniors homes is always a special time and we love to share our queen stories while learning about their experiences and life lessons!
🛢️At the High School Rodeos we are in multiple events and compete for points throughout the weekend!
Although these are just a few activities from a typical day, the queens work very hard and contribute to the sport of rodeo as ambassadors in and out of the arena every day. Being a rodeo queen requires skills in horsemanship, rodeo knowledge, public speaking, and so much more! I am so grateful to be surrounded by such an amazing group of queens here at Canadian HS Finals!
