Summary of Pageant History…
Having selected Judee (Fisher) Hagen of The Dalles as the first Miss Rodeo Oregon in 1957, the organization has
continued over the years to be comprised of hardworking volunteers that help to ensure the success and
expansion of the organization and its programs. Information about the program in its early years is scarce,
but in recent years Miss Rodeo Oregon Pageant, Inc. (MROP, Inc.) has taken great strides in becoming a
strong and successful youth oriented organization that is able to provide a program for Oregon horsewomen,
that encourages positive growth in strength of character and personality, healthy attitudes, self-fulfillment
and self-respect.
As Oregon’s “First Lady of Professional Rodeo,” Miss Rodeo Oregon will attend rodeos sanctioned by the
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), and will appear at community events and parades
throughout the State of Oregon and western United States. It is estimated that she will make 60
appearances and travel over 20,000 miles throughout her yearlong reign.
Miss Rodeo Oregon Pageant, Inc. is organized and conducted to select the most qualified young Oregon
horsewoman to promote the sport of professional rodeo in Oregon and to represent the State of Oregon at
the annual Miss Rodeo America Pageant through an annual state pageant. Oregon towns and cities have
played a vital role in helping the organization maintain its goals with their wonderful hospitality and
generosity. Many of Oregon’s premier cities and towns have played host to the annual pageant such as
Pendleton, Vale, La Grande, Sisters, Roseburg, Hillsboro, Prineville and St. Paul.
Providing our titleholders with the tools they need to have a successful reign has always been important to
MROP, Inc. Throughout the history of the organization titleholders have received awards such as saddles,
trophy buckles, luggage, and chaps. In 2003, MROP, Inc. awarded their first educational scholarship in the
amount of $1000 to help titleholders in their future educational endeavors, and are currently giving a $1500
scholarship to contestants named Miss Rodeo Oregon and $500 to the first runner up in each pageant.
At the end of her year of reign, Miss Rodeo Oregon travels to Las Vegas, Nevada, to compete for the title of
Miss Rodeo America during a week-long competition against other state titleholders. In 1958 the first Miss
Rodeo Oregon was crowned Miss Rodeo America, however declined for personal reasons, since then we
have had numerous top-10 and top-5 finishers, and category award winners. It was not until 2011 when
Mackenzie Carr, 2011 Miss Rodeo Oregon was announced as 2012 Miss Rodeo America that December in
Las Vegas, NV.

miles. I will make numerous appearances at major
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA)

At the conclusion of my reign in December, I will
