Miss Rodeo America 2007

The winner of the 52nd Anniversary Miss Rodeo America Pageant has emerged from a field of 28 fabulous contestants. Miss Rodeo America 2007 is Ashley Andrews, formerly Miss Rodeo North Dakota 2006. She was crowned Saturday afternoon, December 2, 2006, at The Orleans Hotel showroom by Amanda Jenkins, Miss Rodeo America 2006.

After a challenging year that included defeating cancer, Ashley topped off 2006 with another win of a lifetime, becoming the First Lady of Professional Rodeo. She was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in January 2006, immediately following an appearance as Miss Rodeo North Dakota at the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver. After receiving treatment, Ashley was given a clean bill of health before competing at the Miss Rodeo America Pageant in Las Vegas.

A 21-year-old senior at the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND, Ashley studies communications, public relations and political science. Upon graduation she would like to enter the field of public relations in the area of agriculture or cancer research.

With her new national title, Ashley is carrying on a successful rodeo queen career that began when she served her state as North Dakota High School Rodeo Queen in 2001.

The new Miss Rodeo America will be introduced on horseback at the Wrangler NFR Sunday evening, December 4, 2006 at the Thomas and Mack Arena in Las Vegas.

Miss Rodeo America 2006, Amanda Jenkins of Gilbert, AZ, will fulfill her role as the first lady of professional rodeo by appearing at the 2006 Wrangler NFR throughout the remainder of the week.

Upon the conclusion of the Wrangler NFR, Miss Rodeo America 2007 will kick off her yearlong reign of service representing and promoting the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) worldwide by appearing first at the Denver Western Wear Market and World Championship reception at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, CO., both events in January.

Among her awards is a $10,000 educational scholarship to the college or university of her choice, a wardrobe of Wrangler jeans, Justin boots, Bailey Hats, a silver trimmed saddle by Court's Saddlery, her official Miss Rodeo America trophy buckle from Montana Silversmiths, and she will wear the uniquely designed Black Hills Gold tiara, provided by Landstrom's Original Black Hills Gold Creations. These items, along with a multitude of other valuable and exquisite prizes will be presented to her throughout the year.
