I would like to sincerely thank everyone for the recognition of the Okanogan County Cattlewomen of the Year.

Shelby often works behind the scenes for our cattle women’s group. Working as our webmaster for the Okanogan County Cattlewomen, and created our new webpage.

I had the pleasure of having Shelby in my first grade class many years ago. As a teacher, I tried to not have any favorite student, but Shelby had a way of endearing herself. She was special.

It is my pleasure to announce that Shelby Rodgers has been chosen as CattleWomen of the year for 2026.

She’s young and full of energy and very enthusiastic about the fair.
She has multiple entries in a variety of fair divisions.
She has worked alongside her mother, Noreen, for a number of years, learning a variety of lessons and skills that cover the cattlewomen’s goals and mission statement.

She has created and maintains the video display in our eating area at the fair. It identifies our past and present scholarship winners. She was a previous winner herself.

She is a wife, homemaker and mother of 2 busy and delightful kids, as well as working as a dental hygienist.

She created the stickers for our box lunches for the range tour in June.

She has scheduled the fair workers for several years. This often requires making personal contact with each volunteer. She creates the spreadsheet showing the assigned times and volunteers for each shift covering our 4 day fair. And then she volunteers for several shifts herself.

She helped Debbie Duncan with the filing of the required documentation in order for this group to receive their non-profit 501 © (3) status approved by the state of Washington and the I.R.S. She was so adept at it because she initiated and facilitated the registering of the Tonasket Flag Football youth organization for the same status.
