Being a part of the Wyoming rodeo circuit is special.

Wearing the Miss Rodeo Wyoming crown while being a part of the Wyoming rodeo circuit is incredible, and that's been happening since 1955, when the program began. In 2026, Kate Budge will have the opportunity to travel the state and country wearing the coveted crown and represent the strong Wyoming rodeo tradition.

Do you know a young lady who would be interested in having that honor in the future? If so, you should consider the annual Rodeo Queen Clinic and Jackpot Pageant being held in Rock Springs, February 13-15.

Becoming Miss Rodeo Wyoming isn't just about a crown and a title. You'll learn how to become a leader and gain skills to guide you through your life, career, family, and future endeavors. You'll receive scholarship money, gifts, and other prizes on top of the coveted crown.

Miss Rodeo Wyoming is also a representative of rodeo:

As Miss Rodeo Wyoming, you will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between the rodeo community and the general public. Your efforts in public relations will enhance the perception of rodeo, showcasing its positive impact on our culture and society. Upholding the title means being aware of your influence and responsibility, promoting goodwill, and celebrating the spirit of Wyoming.

It's not just a rodeo beauty pageant either. When you compete to become Miss Rodeo Wyoming, you'll have to show off your knowledge of rodeo, horsemanship, your personality, public speaking abilities, and look the part by wearing appropriate attire.

More information on the current Miss Rodeo Wyoming, Kate Budge, and the pageant itself can be found at the Miss Rodeo Wyoming website or Social Media pages.
