Miss Rodeo Nebraska Contest ready to start on Sunday; Former Miss Rodeo Nebraska says the 2024 contest could be one for the books

North Platte, Ne - The Miss Rodeo Nebraska and Miss Teen Rodeo Nebraska competition begins Sunday at the Wild West Arena in North Platte. Nebraska is one of the only States that host their competition and pageant during a big rodeo event like the Buffalo Bill Rodeo at Nebraskaland Days according to 2010 Miss Rodeo Nebraska, Michelle Boeshart-Whitson. Whitson, who is the current MRN President says "we definetley set the bar, I think thats testimony to the amount of State Rodeo Queens that want to come to our pageant because they don't get a big stage from their own state."

She went on to say the the Miss Rodeo Nebraska Pageant "tries to replicate the Miss Rodeo America Pageant that all these girls will compete at if they win during the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas."

Three ladies will compete for the Queen crown this week, along with another three in the Miss Teen Rodeo division. 

Derek Beck hosted Whitson for an enlightening conversation ahead of the program this week. Enjoy the chat...
