The week of June 13th I headed down to North Platte, Nebraska to help celebrate NEBRASKALand Days! 16 other state queens were there with me and boy did we have fun together. Thank you sooo soo much to Dan and Pam Wright for having me in their beautiful home. It may have been the most comfortable bed ever! I flew out of Great Falls to Denver and from Denver flew right into North Platte. Measha Gittens (Miss Rodeo Idaho) and Chris Wade (Miss Rodeo Utah) had the same flight into North Platte. It is so nice to run into someone you know when in an airport. When we arrived in Nebraska, we headed straight to the Buffalo Bill Arena to meet up with the rest of the girls and enjoy the first
dinner of the Miss Rodeo Nebraska Pageant.
During the dinner, we helped show off the great auction items. When everyone started to clear out the state queens and the contestants participated in relays. My team included Colorado, Idaho, South Dakota, and Florida.
We did the rescue race, bubble gum chewing, and the egg run. What a blast we had!! The rest of the week consisted of a kiddie parade, several autograph sessions and lots of coffee. We made time to visit Buffalo Bill's house and the Golden Spike. When I was there they had a few tornado watches and I must say I was a bit nervous. Measha was too. We thought sticking together would have made the nerves go away. I think we just made each other worse. During the rodeo the crowd was stomping on the bleachers and we thought it had something to do with a tornado, and during the bull riding they played a siren sound and that freaked us out too. I was so worried about a tornado in Nebraska and 2 days after I arrive home, the whirlwind went through Billings. I guess we have to be ready for everyting no matter where we live right?
