My name is Sadie Van Nest, and it has truly been an honor serving as your Glennville Rodeo Princess this year. Representing in parades, grand entries, and rodeos has been such an amazing experience that I will never forget.
This title gave me opportunities to meet incredible people, make lifelong memories, and grow so much as a person. When I first started this journey, I was nervous and unsure of myself at times, but wearing this crown helped build my confidence and taught me to believe in myself both in and out of the arena. Early in my rein, I lost my best friend, my horse Carlos. My sash sisters were there for me and didn’t hesitate to comfort me, and gave me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers. They helped support me on the hardest day. Lilly, Camille, Rebel and (of course the best Queen coordinator ever), Abby; I will forever be grateful.
Thank you to my family, friends, the Greenhorn Mountain Veterans Association, and everyone who supported me throughout this year. Your encouragement meant everything to me.
Although my reign has come to an end, the memories, friendships and lessons I’ve gained will stay with me as I continue on to my next adventure.
Thank you again for an unforgettable year, and God Bless.
