Speaking of new beginnings, I then found myself down in Sundre for the competition and crown - ing of our new Miss Rodeo Sundre. As an alumni, it was incredible to watch the hard work, dedi- cation and passion of the contestants over the weekend. I packed my bags for a very anticipated visit to Dawson Creek and made my way north for their spring rodeo! I had the privilege to spend most of my time with Longhorn Oilfield Services during the visit. We attended many schools to talk to the kids about the rodeo and answer questions about our way of life. It was so reward - ing! After I returned home, I had another full circle moment as an alumni of Miss Ponoka Stampede. Our contestants competed hard and I was so fulfilled to be a part of the selection day! I am excited to be back in Ponoka for the Tarp Auction sale to officially crown our new Queen for 2024! I then made my way back to Red Deer for a late night Lammle’s shopping event as well as Horse Expo! It was so much fun visiting with vendors, watching some clinics and kicking off the Trainer Challenge. Taber Spring Classic Rodeo was the first rodeo of the weekend where I met with our new Miss Rodeo Taber and flew our beautiful maple leaf flag. After the Friday performance I then drove towards the mountains and attended the Ka - nanaskis Pro Rodeo for the Saturday and Sunday performances. It was so much fun being able to represent at two different places over the week - end!
