Helotes Festival Association Cornyval & PRCA Rodeo

Join us for our general membership meeting tomorrow.

🌟🌽 💛 WOW — WHAT A TWO WEEKS IT’S BEEN! 💛🌽 🌟
From the Miss Helotes Court 2026

We kicked off our year in the most unforgettable way. It’s hard to believe it’s already been two weeks since the Miss Helotes Scholarship Pageant! Since then, your 2026 Court has:

✨ Officially signed their contracts
🥞 Shared hugs, happy tears, and new beginnings at the Hello/Goodbye Breakfast — welcoming the Miss Helotes Court 2026 and lovingly saying goodbye to the incredible Miss Helotes Court 2025
📺 Made our first official appearance on Great Day SA, representing Helotes with pride and big smiles

And then… it was time for CORNYVAL 2026 — a week we’ll never forget! 🌽💛

🤠 Welcomed festival‑goers from near and far
🐮 Helped the tiniest cowgirls and cowboys get ready for mutton bustin’
🐎 Rode into the rodeo arena for Grand Entry under those bright arena lights
❄️ Powered through a very cold evening with grace and grit
🎀 Woke up before sunrise for the parade — riding in our beautiful dresses on an award‑winning float
🌽 Gave it our all in the corn‑eating contest (we tried… we really tried!)
🎓 Helped award scholarships to four incredibly deserving local seniors
🎡 Rode amazing rides, laughed nonstop, and enjoyed every bite and sip of the delicious festival food

Cornyval isn’t just a festival — it’s Helotes. It’s tradition, community, service, and joy all wrapped into one unforgettable weekend.

💛🌽✨ Cornyval 2026 was truly one to remember. ✨🌽💛

And to top it all off…
🏆 The Miss Helotes Court 2026 was awarded 1st place in the Ambassador category for the Cornyval Parade — with the Miss Helotes Court 2025 earning 2nd place!
A perfect ending to a perfect celebration of sisterhood and community pride.
