San
Augustine Rodeo Princess to Win 4-Wheeler
- February 23, 2010
Submitted by J.T. Burnett “Miss
Rodeo Princess” is an added
feature to this year’s PRCA
Rodeo in San Augustine, May
14-15th. Girls ages 8 and
under are invited to participate in
the contest. According to rodeo committee
President J.T. Burnett, feedback from
the community sparked the idea. “We’ve
had requests for something like this
for little girls to participate in,”
said Burnett. “People have asked
for something other than an ordinary
queen’s contest, so we are hoping
the kids will have fun with this.”
Entry
forms and rules available by
contacting J.T. Burnett at 936-275-2227.
Pictured is Joanie Williams
of the rodeo committee accepting
the donated 4-wheeler from Judge
Williams.
|
The little girl crowned “Miss
Rodeo Princess” will receive
the grand prize of a purple camouflage
125cc 4-wheeler, donated by San Augustine
County Judge Randy Williams, along
with other gifts. All participants
will be awarded prizes. “We
are excited to give great prizes to
participants and runners-up such as
a bicycle, gift cards, gift sets,
and much more,” stated Burnett.
Registration is free, and the rules
state the girls must be 8-years or
younger on May 13, 2010, which is
rodeo week. Girls of all areas are
welcome, not limited to San Augustine
County residents. No horsemanship
or rodeo background necessary. The
contest will not be judged on any
particular element, only money raised
and rules followed.
Girls must earn money by selling
raffle tickets, t-shirts, and/or program
ads, along with any personal fundraisers
they might choose. The contestant
earning the most money will be crowned
“Miss Rodeo Princess 2010”
and will represent the San Augustine
County PRCA Rodeo during rodeo week.
According to Burnett, the idea behind
contestants earning money goes along
with the rodeo committee’s motto.
“The rodeo committee’s
goal is to keep western heritage alive,
to remember the way people made their
livings with their hands and their
land through hard work,” said
Burnett. “Rather than have the
girls ‘ask’ for donations,
we wanted them to ‘earn’
their money and in doing so ‘earn’
the title of Miss Rodeo Princess.”
Money earned by the contestants will
go toward scholarships, charities
and individual grants to people in
need. “We want to help people
of the community who might have experienced
a natural disaster such as a house
fire and who perhaps are not insured,
and this contest will help raise money
for that cause,” said Burnett.
Registration is open now, and entry
forms can be obtained by contacting
J.T. Burnett at 936-275-2227 or through
email at waxwagon@yahoo.com. |
