This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the St. Croix County PRCA Rodeo, and what an incredible weekend I had!

I had so much fun meeting and being inspired by so many new people, while also getting to spend time with some amazing queens and princesses. From Royalty Roundup at Kate’s Coffee Koup, to autograph signing, some kids activities, and all of the fun festivities surrounding the Miss Rodeo Wisconsin Pageant, it was a weekend full of memories and definitely a rodeo to remember!

A huge congratulations to Ava Johnson on her crowning as Miss Rodeo Wisconsin 2027!! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish in your year!

I also want to give a very special thank you to Barnes for allowing me to use their amazing horse, LA! I’m incredibly thankful 🫶🏼

Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so special. I’m already looking forward to the next one!
