We are incredible excited to introduce a rodeo queen program to K/C ranch. As a past rodeo queen herself, Kelly Curry has always been passionate about coaching the future of rodeo and being able to offer this program is a dream come true. A rodeo queen is an ambassador to the sport of rodeo, her local sponsoring rodeo, and her community. Our queen will assist in the promotion and production of our jackpots and events, while promoting our sponsors. Additionally, a rodeo queen is an educator on the sport of rodeo and the western lifestyle. Our queen will have responsibility to community involvement through volunteerism in various youth organizations. As we introduce this local title in the state of KY, we strongly encourage our queen to take this title to the national, Miss Rodeo USA pageant held in conjunction with the International Finals Rodeo.
Prior to the Curry Class in March of 2025, we will host a pageant to crown our Miss K/C Ranch 2025. Pageant will be inclusive of horsemanship, public speaking, appearance, and interview. A full rulebook, and schedule will be announced later in the year.
