Miss Rodeo Othello

Feeling incredibly blessed and thankful for the amazing support behind my year as Miss Rodeo Othello! I want to give a huge thank you to all of my sponsors who helped make my trailer possible, as well as for the generous gift of brand-new wheels.

Having a dependable trailer means so much as I travel throughout the year representing our community, attending rodeos, events, and supporting western heritage. Your generosity helps make this journey possible, and I truly could not do it without all of you behind me.

Thank you for believing in me, supporting rodeo traditions, and investing in this experience. I am proud to represent Othello everywhere I go and carry your support with me every mile down the road.

With Love,

I am beyond grateful to have received such a beautiful saddle to carry with me throughout my year as Miss Rodeo Othello. This saddle is more than just a piece of equipment. It represents hard work, dedication, western tradition, and the incredible support from this community.

The craftsmanship and detail put into this saddle are absolutely amazing, and I am honored to ride with it all year long while representing Othello and the rodeo community.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in creating and supporting this incredible gift. Your generosity and encouragement mean the world to me, and I will proudly represent with this saddle wherever this journey takes me.

Happy Father's Day to the man I love most, my dad. Thank you for being the hardest-working, strongest, and most selfless person I know. Your dedication, sacrifices, and unwavering support have helped shape me into the person I am today.
From teaching me the value of hard work and responsibility to always encouraging me to chase my dreams, you have been my greatest role model. I am incredibly grateful for everything you do for our family and for always believing in me.
Thank you for the lessons, the laughter, and the countless memories. I am proud to be your daughter and blessed to have you by my side. Wishing a very Happy Father's Day to the best dad a girl could ask for. I love you, Pops!

I had the honor of representing the Othello Rodeo Association at the Lind Chamber of Commerce Parade! ❤️🤠

I had such a great time meeting people, visiting with the community, and sharing my love for rodeo and the western way of life. I am incredibly grateful for every opportunity I have to represent Othello and our amazing rodeo family.

I am also excited to share that I received **1st Place in my category**! 🏆✨

Thank you to the Lind Chamber of Commerce and everyone who helped make the parade such a wonderful event. Your support and encouragement mean so much. Congratulations to all of the participants who made the day special!

I am proud to represent Othello wherever this journey takes me and look forward to the many events still to come this year.

See you down the road! 🐎💙

What an amazing time at the Coulee City Last Stand Rodeo in Coulee City! Although I was only able to attend one day, I had such a fun and memorable experience from start to finish.

The day started with attending the morning parade, and it was so special getting to see the community come together to celebrate such a great event. I absolutely loved participating in the run in and being part of the action in the arena. One of my favorite parts of the day was helping with the mutton busting and the stick horse races. The kids brought so much energy and excitement!

I also had a blast helping pick up barrel racing barrels from the back of the truck and getting to experience all the behind-the-scenes fun that makes rodeos so special.

Thank you to everyone who made the day so welcoming and enjoyable. Experiences like this make me even more excited for all the future rodeos ahead during my year as Miss Rodeo Othello!

Today, I want to extend a heartfelt Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible mothers out there. Your love, strength, patience, and guidance shape the lives of your children in ways that last a lifetime. Whether you are a new mom, a grandmother, a bonus mom, or someone who fills a motherly role—you are appreciated more than words can say.

A very special thank you to all the rodeo moms. Behind every cowgirl and cowboy is a mom who is early mornings, late nights, long road trips, dirty boots, and endless support. Your dedication keeps the rodeo family strong, and your encouragement makes dreams in and out of the arena possible. We couldn’t do it without you.

And to my own mom, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your constant love, belief in me, and unwavering support have made this journey as Miss Rodeo Othello so meaningful. You are my biggest cheerleader, my foundation, and my inspiration every step of the way. I am so grateful to share this adventure with you by my side.

Wishing all moms a beautiful and well-deserved day filled with love and appreciation. 💐

What an incredible experience attending the Wenatchee Apple Blossom Parade for my debut as Miss Rodeo Othello 2026!
I truly enjoyed joining my sash sisters as we made our way through the parade route representing the great sport of rodeo and our western way of life. Seeing so many familiar faces throughout the crowd and feeling the energy from the community made this event even more special. I would like to thank Gael Hernandez for going out there and helping me out!
This parade was the perfect way to kick off the season, and I am so excited for all that is still to come. Thank you to everyone who came out to support us! I can’t wait to continue this journey representing the Othello Rodeo Association!

I just received my custom-made chaps from Julie Baugher, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and care she put into every part of them truly shows. From the fit to the finish, everything is exactly what I hoped for and more. Julie’s talent and dedication are unmatched, and I’m so grateful for the time and effort she put into making them perfect. They’re absolutely stunning thank you once again! Julie Bayha Baugher

What an amazing night at the pet rescue banquet! Seeing everyone come together to raise money to help animals in need was truly heartwarming. Thank you to everyone who bought auction items to support the ACPR, this is a nonprofit organization so I am very thankful to everyone’s help. Getting to be part of such a special event by holding auction items made the event special. The dinner was absolutely delightful as well as the ice cream! Once again thank you all for helping out! 🐾

I had such a great time attending my former high school’s FFA Banquet!
It was so nice getting to see my old ag teachers and classmates again, and even better seeing everyone come together to support ag students as they raise money to compete in competitions.
I helped out by selling beads for the Heads & Tails game and working as a runner. I delivered items to buyers. I also loved getting the chance to socialize with students and everyone in the audience. It made the night even more special.
I’m so grateful I was able to come back and support my former FFA group! 💙💛
