Wow is really an understatement as to how these last two weeks have been. I am officially on the road for the year! My first stop was Brunswick, Georgia. First of all on the way there it was very exciting! I have not really ever left Iowa much in my life and I was able to see so many things on my long eighteen hour drive to Brunswick! I seen “rocks bigger than my car,” I was informed those are called mountains in Tennessee! When I first got to Georgia the first thing that went through my mind was that it looked like the Lion King! There are trees everywhere here in Georgia! I soon found out that they grow tree crops just as I grow corn or soybean crops there in Iowa! I learned so much history about the state of Georgia!
Rodeo On the Beach was my first stop! I had an absolute blast! I spent everyday with at least one member of the Exchange Club of Brunswick, which is an amazing group of gentleman who raise money to give back to the kids in their county! I was so thrilled to be apart of their eighth annual rodeo! We went on school visits, spoke to different groups of people, did radio interviews, and I was even able to go to the beach for the first time ever in my life! To top it all off I even got to ride a horse on the beach! They all made sure that I was able to see the sights as I was there and really enjoyed getting to be a tourist for about a day! They took me Kayaking right before the horseback ride on the beach and that was so cool! I was able to walk along the beach and even pick up a few sand dollars for my scrapbook! I rode both Friday night and Saturday night during the rodeo! I was honored to ride one of Hedrick Rodeo’s finest horses, Bravo! We had some good runs and he did a great job taking care of me on my first adventure as Miss Rodeo USA 2019! I got to mingle with so many young rodeo fans and loved seeing their faces light up as the horses would fly by in the arena or the bulls would buck a cowboy off! After Rodeo on the Beach I made a few hour drive to another part of Georgia, Statesboro! What a fun time and we made history all while doing it! I was so honored to make an appearance to the first annual Washington Ag Center Rodeo! I have never seen a better crowd for a first time rodeo, I am just so proud of the entire committee and everyone who helped put it together! The weather was amazing and the horses worked great all weekend! I spent the week leading up to the rodeo going around the county to different events! I was able to put my public speaking skills to work as I was honored to speak at the introduction and sponsor dinner, the Rotary club, Lions club, school visits, and even was asked to speak during the fellowship to the youth group! I was so lucky and honored to work with such caring people! Mr. Eddy had spent so much time putting together such a wonderful rodeo so me and Mrs. Ruthie went out to ladies night out where we did some shopping at local shops and even got to watch the main event for the night! We sat and listened to up and coming country star Tyler Cullens! I had such a great time meeting everyone and seeing the town of Sandersville, GA. When they say southern hospitality they are not joking! I just got to Statesboro, Georgia and am getting ready to start my next adventure! I hope you are all enjoying the updates and staying in touch with me through social media! Please don’t forget to follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat I have been trying to post often so you can all see the exciting things I get to do! I will write again soon! In the meantime be sure to check out these really cool photos from my adventures!
