Subject Author Date Bad leadership. Should have had their license revoked years ago. There is no excuse to have 3 girls in a statewide pageant. I know the population in WY is sparse, but there are people that live there. They are not trying to recruit. A few years ago I was going to give a sponsor gift as their winner was from my state. I emailed them and......crickets. So, I gave my gift to someone else. (NT) No name (22.sub-174-238-97.myvzw.com/174.238.97.22) 00:27:42 06/06/26 Sat Don't underestimate the draw of the Miss Rodeo America pageant in the western states, going 70 years so far. The number of times a state has won the crown: Texas 8, Utah 7, California 6, Colorado 6, Idaho 6, South Dakota 6, Arizona 5, Nebraska 4, Wyoming 4, Mississippi 3, New Mexico 3, Kansas 2, Nevada 2, North Dakota 2, Florida 1, Louisiana 1, Michigan 1, Oklahoma 1, Oregon 1, Washington 1 (per Wikipedia) (NT) No name (syn-071-073-205-179.res.spectrum.com/71.73.205.179) 16:28:09 06/06/26 Sat The winner of Miss Rodeo America receives a $20,000 Educational Scholarship from the Miss Rodeo America Scholarship Foundation, with various other scholarships being awarded for winners of categories and recognition in other areas. Every contestant receives at a minimum $1,000 just for competing. (NT) -- No name, 16:44:08 06/06/26 Sat (syn-071-073-205-179.res.spectrum.com/71.73.205.179) And? Many states have other pageant systems and still manage to get a good number of girls interested in the state MAO. I think this is just an excuse. There is no reasonable reason that a state MAO pageant has only 3 girls competing year after year (NT) -- No name, 19:35:03 06/06/26 Sat (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) You obviously have never been to Wyoming. (NT) -- No name, 04:33:55 06/07/26 Sun (mobile-107-77-194-69.mobile.att.net/107.77.194.69) Why do you say that? Is it really that much more rural than Alaska or Vermont? (NT) -- No name, 09:27:29 06/07/26 Sun (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) The state has just over 580,000 residents statewide. Over 91% of Wyoming’s land is officially classified as rural. According to the ⁠U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 17 of Wyoming's 23 counties are defined as "frontier," meaning they have fewer than 6 people per square mile. The only two counties considered urban are Laramie (Cheyenne) and Natrona (Casper). Nearly half of the state's total land (about 48%) is owned and managed by the ⁠U.S. Department of the Interior, leaving vast stretches of the state completely uninhabited.

Is it really that much more rural than AK and VT? Let's stop making excuses for poor leadership marketing (NT) -- No name, 17:41:19 06/07/26 Sun (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) The first Miss Rodeo America, from Wyoming, died just two months ago. https://www.leveringtonfh.com/obituaries/marilyn-scott-freimark (NT) No name (syn-071-073-205-179.res.spectrum.com/71.73.205.179) 16:41:17 06/06/26 Sat
