University of Arkansas fall break was on the 21st and 22nd of October, so I was finally able to attend a Rodeo of the Ozarks board meeting. I typically cannot because I have a Monday night class and meetings are held the 3rd Monday of each month. It was such a pleasure to spend some time with the board. They are so supportive and I am honored to be a part of their team! Get ready for some big plans at the 70th annual Rodeo of the Ozarks.
That same week, I attended Kirbi's Fundraiser. She had a great turnout for her silent auction, chilli cookoff, city slicker rodeo fundraising event as she prepares to compete for the title of Miss Rodeo America this December. We enjoyed a day of crazy critters and some serious baggo winning! Best Wishes to Miss Kirbi as she heads to represent Arkansas, the sport of rodeo and the western way of life.
The following Monday, I attended a Farm Credit Customer Appreciation Dinner. It is always an honor to attend Farm Credit events! Not only are they a fantastic sponsor and employer but my second family. Farm Credit of Western Arkansas embraces the true meaning of community involvement in more ways than we recognize. One of which, is the annual Customer Appreciation dinner. With about 200 in attendance, I'd say it was a hit!
Last Friday I was invited to Asbell Elementary to talk about Responsibility during their Red Ribbon Week. I forgot what it was like to have energy at 7:45am! With 450 elementary students assembled in the cafeteria, the day after Halloween it was quite the way to begin an early Friday. The students sang several interactive songs then I spoke about the importance of responsibility and some of my responsibilities as a rodeo queen.
Although the fall hasn't quite brought the slower pace, one may expect, I am not the least bit remorseful. I love everything that I do am honored to have the opportunity to play an active part in my community while promoting rodeo.
