Woah- the month of April flew by fast!

I started off the month by attending the Grosebeck, TX rodeo on April 6th. The performance went great and the contestants did an awesome job! I owe a BIG "thank you" to Flying C Rodeo for providing me with a horse to ride while I was there.

My next adventure was a trip to the Ft. Worth Stockyards. I had the amazing opportunity to be a volunteer for the Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame Exceptional Children's Rodeo, the Stockyards Championship Rodeo, and I celebrated with the best as the 2013 Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame Inductees were formally inducted at the award ceremony. While I was there I met some incredibly inspirational people and made long-lasting memories. Rachel Watts, Don Howell, Tina Hodge, Hub Baker- I appreciate all of your kindness. Thank you, I am so blessed to have been a part of making Rodeo history!

I also attended our 3rd Annual UPRA Queens Clinic held in Winnsboro, TX on April 27th. We had a great turn out and I am excited to see all of the beautiful young ladies achieve their dreams, and compete in future queen competitions. Thank you Katie Crews, Kristie Wilson, and Bonnie McAree for giving your time and knowledge at our clinic, we learned so much from you!

Upon finishing at the UPRA clinic, I headed over to the Linden, TX Rodeo! Wing Rodeo was so nice while I was there, I had a blast!
All in all, the month of April was packed full of wonderful experiences that are just the start of my year as Miss UPRA. I can't wait to see what the month of May has in store for me. I wish everyone good luck in all that they do, see you all soon down the trail!
