May 13-15/ Relay for Life,Oroville Parade, and Princeton Rodeo

Busy,Busy,Busy...I had the pleasure of helping to put on a local fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, being on the committee and a team captain for one of the teams that participated. Relay for Life is where for 24 hours teams walk around a track to raise money for cancer research and remember those lost and who have survived cancer. During the relay there are different games and things going on for entertainment, this year I was in charge of the Mr. Relay contest which is where a guy from each team dresses up as a girl and get 20 minutes to raise as much money as they can and then are asked to model and answer an impromptu question.

The Mr. Relay contestants and I :)

The luminaries all lite up around midnight

After walking all night for Relay for Life, I got a couple hours of sleep and then it was off to Oroville to ride in Omak's centennial train with the Mayor for the Parade. Our train even got second place that day and it was such an honor to be representing not only Washington, but the city of Omak in the Parade.

Sunday it was off to Canada I go to the Princeton Rodeo, after making it through the border in what seemed record time I finally arrived at the rodeo. I enjoyed a wonderful luncheon with the rodeos queen, Al Parsons the announcer and Dennis Halstead the barrelman. An interesting thing that Canadians do before rodeos is a walk through on the ground without horses, its the funniest thing you'll ever watch with adults and all of us queens galloping around and doing our waves. The rodeo was a blast and everyone was so happy to see me again since I had attended the rodeo before as the Omak queen.

Until next time Happy Trails:)
