I am so incredibly grateful to have had the honor of carrying the American flag as the 2026 Kuna Stampede Senior Queen at the Kuna High School Homecoming game! Being able to represent my community and our country in such a special way is something I will always hold close to my heart.

A huge thank you to everyone on the Kuna Stampede board who came out to support me and made this moment even more special. Your continued support means more to me than you know!

Most importantly, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all the veterans who have served and sacrificed for our country. Because of your bravery, dedication, and love for our freedom, we are able to stand together under this flag with pride. Thank you will never be enough for everything you have done for us. 🇺🇸

I am so proud to represent the Kuna Stampede and forever grateful for opportunities like this one! ❤️🤍💙

Feeling so grateful and honored to have had the opportunity to carry the American flag at the 2026 Kuna Stampede Rodeo 🇺🇸❤️

There’s something so special about riding into the arena with the flag flying high and representing something bigger than yourself. I’m incredibly thankful for this opportunity and for everyone who makes the Kuna Stampede so special. It’s a memory I’ll always cherish and one I’m proud to have been a part of. 🇺🇸🐎

God Bless America and the Kuna Stampede! ❤️🤍💙

What an incredible time we had in Pendleton, Oregon, for the Pendleton Round-Up! 🤠❤️ We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of the parade and experience the amazing community of Pendleton.

Being able to ride through the streets, meet so many wonderful people, and represent the Kuna Stampede is something we will always cherish. Thank you, Pendleton, for welcoming us with open arms and allowing us to be a small part of such a special tradition. We are so thankful for the memories, the friendships, and the opportunity to be a part of your community! 🐴👑

Until next time, Pendleton! ❤️

Our 2026 Mini Queen, Ava Shoemaker also did an amazing job representing our beloved rodeo with grace, it’s only fair to share her goodbye as well:

I can’t believe my year as the Kuna Stampede Mini Queen has already come to an end.

This year, I proudly represented the Kuna Stampede and Crooked 8 Arena at 26 events — 7 rodeos, 11 appearances, and 8 parades — traveling nearly 2,000 miles with the Kuna Stampede name across my sash.

Along the way, I have met so many amazing people and made friendships with other rodeo queens that I know will last long after this crown comes off.

I want to thank my amazing Queen Coordinator, Jess, for always supporting and encouraging me. Thank you to our President and Board Members, and everyone at Crooked 8 Arena, for trusting me to represent you this year.

And thank you to my family for hauling horses, driving all those miles, the early mornings and late nights, and always being there for me.

This year has given me memories and friendships I will never forget!

Passing the Kuna Stampede title isn’t an ending for me, it’s the beginning of being a rodeo Queen for many more years, I’m thankful for everything I have learned, I could not have hoped to have a better first title!

Thank you, Kuna Stampede and Crooked 8 Arena. It has truly been an honor to be your Mini Queen!

Thank you Ava, and the best of luck during your reign as the 2026/2027 Treasure Valley Mini Queen! 🩵
