👑❤️ A Heartfelt Thank You to Our 2025 Miss Rodeo Cherokee, Tayah Carter! ❤️👑

As Tayah’s year representing the Cherokee PRCA Rodeo came to a close this past weekend, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for everything she has done to represent our organization.

While many people see the crown, sash, and grand entries, the true role of Miss Rodeo Cherokee is to serve as an ambassador for our rodeo. Throughout her reign, Tayah was the face of our rodeo everywhere she traveled, building connections, promoting our event, and representing our community with grace, professionalism, and heart.

She traveled countless miles, attended rodeos across the country, and proudly shared the spirit of Cherokee PRCA Rodeo wherever she went. Her dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment to promoting our rodeo never went unnoticed. She represented us with poise, authenticity, and a genuine love for the rodeo community.

Beyond the title, Tayah is simply a remarkable young woman. Her kindness, beautiful spirit, warm heart, and positive attitude make her a joy to be around. She has been an incredible ambassador for our rodeo and a shining example of what Miss Rodeo Cherokee represents.

Thank you, Tayah, for your time, your energy, your dedication, and the countless ways you shared Cherokee PRCA Rodeo with the country. We are grateful for the year we shared. Once a part of the Cherokee PRCA Rodeo family, always a part of the Cherokee PRCA Rodeo family.

❤️ Thank you for representing us so well. We can’t wait to see what comes next.

🤠🎶 Saturday night was absolutely one for the history books!

The mud tried to steal the spotlight, but the crowd had other plans. People didn’t just show up - they powered through on the path carved with help from our trusty tractor volunteers, pushing, smoothing, and doing everything they could to get folks safely into the arena. 🚜

🏟️ 🎤 And once the lights hit and Ned LeDoux took the stage…game over. The energy was awesome - crowd singing, boots stomping, and zero hesitation from anyone who decided a little mud wasn’t going to stand between them and an unforgettable night.

🐎 That’s rodeo weekend. That’s choosing the experience no matter what the weather throws at you.

❤️ Massive gratitude to everyone who came out, embraced the chaos, and helped turn a muddy mess into one of the most legendary nights we’ve ever had at the rodeo. 🔥

🎯💗 Congratulations to Klayton Grieme, our winner of the Closest to the Barrel during last night’s Pink-Out Frisbee Fundraiser! Clayton takes home $100 for landing the winning toss! 🎉👏

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated and helped make this fundraiser a success. 💕

All proceeds raised will provide gas cards for Cherokee Regional Medical Center patients traveling for cancer treatments.

That means every frisbee tossed helped make the road a little easier for someone facing a tough journey. 💗

Thank you for showing up, having fun, and supporting a cause that truly matters to our board during rodeo weekend! 🎀🤠
