Miss Oregon Trail Rodeo Royalty

So excited to kick off my reign with the 2026 Nebraska State Fair!!! Even though it was hot it was still super fun! From feeding a tiger, to holding an alligator, to riding a camel the day was filled with so many amazing memories! Getting to be the Queen’s day parade is always something special and truly amazing! Thank you to the state fair for hosting this and having me!!! 🎡🎡

I am beyond honored to serve as the inaugural Miss Oregon Trail Rodeo Princess. This journey is incredibly special to me, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to represent our community. To help make our Pink Night even more impactful, I am seeking sponsors for our official new queen chaps. A $100 contribution secures a permanent place for your brand on these chaps, which will be cherished and passed down for generations. With only 11 spots remaining, your support would leave a lasting legacy. I am also seeking partners for travel, sashes, autograph sheets, pageant awards, and my saddle. Thank you for considering being a part of this meaningful experience—please reach out with any questions!
