WOW! That's all I can say 'bout last night's rodeo! We had a MOST IMPRESSIVE turnout!

In the ten years I've volunteered and photographed this event, I can't remember stands as full as they were last night - for an opening night at the rodeo... I mean - it's WEDNESDAY - and those stands were FULL! THIS IS AWESOME! Especially since we have the top rated cowboys on the PRCA circuit!!! (our county has a MOST impressive rodeo!)

(l to r) Miss Rodeo America, Miss Rodeo Washington, Jessica Davisson - Miss Spokane Interstates, Crystal Hart, Ashley Clary, and Christina Krawiecki

Chrissy (Christina Krawiecki, Miss Kitsap Fair & Stampede), along with Sadie - the OH SO adorable Little Miss Thunderbird... (you can find the Thunderbird Rodeo info here: http://www.thunderbirdrodeo.com/)

Annnnd, we also were graced with the beautiful Crystal Hart, the Northwest Junior Rodeo Association Queen. Crystal is running for Miss Teen Rodeo Washington, and we wish her NOTHING BUT THE BEST! GO CRYSTAL!

Along with Crystal, we had Ashli Clary, the Northwest Junior Rodeo Association Princess! (the NWJRA girls are GORGEOUS, aren't they?)

Don't you be fooled for one minute! These young women from the NW Junior Rodeo Assoc. can rope 'n ride with the best of 'em!
And ALL THE WAY FROM THE EAST SIDE! The lovely Miss Spokane Interstates Jessica Davisson!

Of course, the gorgeous Maegan Ridley, Miss Rodeo America!!!


Our own Miss Rodeo Washington Nicole Ray - what a pretty woman!

Crystal Hart looks like she's having WAY too much fun!

And here's our little babycakes - the far too cute Katie Kitsap - in the West Hills sponsored Dodge Pickup (only THE best pickup in the land!!! - just my opinion...)

And finally - the prettiest face in the county, with absolutely THE sweetest smile....


Looks like Chrissy's horse Blue is trying to muster up a smile worthy of a rodeo steed! :O)
Rodeo tonight at the Thunderbird Arena, Kitsap County Fairgrounds - 7p.m. - be there, or be square!
