The contestants were Jamie Cutshall of Usk, Washington, Kristany Fitzthum of Spokane, Washington, Jessie Tennant of Deer Park, Washington, Brianna Williamson of West Richland, Washington. I had the pleasure of helping the girls pick out their fashion show outfit at HAV western wear. We also were featured on the Spokane radio station to promote the event and tell a little about what rodeo queens do.

To Ellensburg I go....there were three contestants competing for Ellensburg rodeo queen and princess. Saturday’s competition was emceed by new rodeo barrelman, clown and entertainer J.J. Harrison. The queen candidates were judged on modeling, their speech and impromptu questions. They also were judged on a riding presentation on Oct. 2. This competition a unique one because instead of the regular 4 judges there are 28. All three of the girls speeches were inspiring and very entertaining and all did a great job displaying the gowns they were given to wear that night from Riding High USA. Jessica Hansberry, 18, was crowned the 2011 Ellensburg Rodeo queen and Marisa Wickerath, 17, the Ellensburg Rodeo princess during a sold-out ceremony Saturday night in the Central Washington University SURC Ballroom.
