This was a day of much excitement as I spent it with Sara-Jane Prchal, 2009 Miss Moses Lake Roundup, and the four 2010 contestants: Jamie Judd, Catrina Langley, Charli Bergevin, and Lacey Groski. The day started at 8 AM with orientation, followed shortly after with the Horsemanship portion of the pageant; the weather was beautiful! For lunch we had SubWay with Judges, and the rodeo committee. Mmm-mmm good! After lunch we all went to the Tack Shop in Moses Lake to visit Cynder; she outfitted each of us with an outfit to model for the evening. We were permitted to choose a pair of pants, boots, jewelry, a shirt, and a purse if you chose to. This was fun as it allowed all everyone to be themselves and have a chance to show more of their personality.
As the contestants were escorted in an ‘Ameri-Stay Inn’(sponsor) Limo, the evening of events quickly approached. They each participated in personal interviews and a written test then changed into a causal western outfit for dinner. After dinner we all modeled our ‘Tack Shop outfits,’ and soon after modeled leather western dresses.
Congratulations to Catrina Langley, the 2010 Miss Moses Lake Roundup (MMLR) and Charli Bergevin, 1st runner up. I would like to thank Jill Tonne for helping me with preparation to attend and with my schedule, and the Moses Lake Roundup for their continued support as well, from my year as MMLR in 2007, to the present. What a superb committee!
And Sara, great job! You’re a hard one to follow!
