"If a girl wants to be a legend, she should go ahead and be one."
Rodeo queens have been around for many decades, appearing as early as 1910 at the Pendleton Round-Up in Oregon, but it was in 1955 when the first Miss Rodeo Canada was crowned.
Fun Fact - Alberta
Five of our Miss Rodeo Canada queens previously held an Alberta High School Rodeo Queen title. In separate years they competed at the National Finals High School Queen competitions and all made it to the top ten! These three queens were Trish Kostelansky (Seitz), Stacey Soffel, Jenna Berreth, Nicole Briggs and Katy Lucas.
Fun Fact - Saskatchewan
Joanne Riou was the first Miss Rodeo Canada from Saskatchewan. Joanne was crowned in 1980.
Fun Fact - Chaps
Chaps were not used by Miss Rodeo Canada until 1997 when Heather Beierbach was commissioned to make some for our rodeo Queen. Ms. Beierbach noticed Miss Rodeo America had a pair at the NFR, but our queen did not!
