All three of the Junior Princess Rodeo contestants for the Go for the Gold Rodeo are 4-H members and attend Superior High School. Left to right, Miekolani Ruthford on Poppy, Josie Crabb on Monkey, and Ava White on Boone. In front is Lanie Crabb, Queen, and Rainier Acker, Princess. The rodeo will be at the Mineral County Fairgrounds Aug. 2 and 3.
“I don’t know how many years I’ve been doing this (judging), but this might have been the most difficult year to choose the Junior Princess. It almost came down to a coin toss,” said Shawn Heyer with the Superior LIONS Rodeo Committee.
The competition to become the Junior Princess with the other royalty in the Go for the Gold Rodeo was held at the Felsted’s Riding Arena at the I-90 Lozeau/Quartz exit last week.
“Mary Grace works with these kids in the 4H Horsemanship program so she knows them already,” Heyer said.
