This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the St. Croix County PRCA Rodeo, and what an incredible weekend I had!

I had so much fun meeting and being inspired by so many new people, while also getting to spend time with some amazing queens and princesses. From Royalty Roundup at Kate’s Coffee Koup, to autograph signing, some kids activities, and all of the fun festivities surrounding the Miss Rodeo Wisconsin Pageant, it was a weekend full of memories and definitely a rodeo to remember!

A huge congratulations to Ava Johnson on her crowning as Miss Rodeo Wisconsin 2027!! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish in your year!

I also want to give a very special thank you to Barnes for allowing me to use their amazing horse, LA! I’m incredibly thankful 🫶🏼

Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so special. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

What an incredible 4th of July weekend representing Wisconsin River Pro Rodeo! ❤️🤍💙

We had an amazing time at the Mid-Western Rodeo, where we met so many wonderful people, represented our rodeo, and made memories we’ll never forget. We also had the honor of representing Wisconsin River Pro Rodeo in the Tomahawk 4th of July Parade, making for the perfect way to celebrate Independence Day.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed and supported us throughout the weekend we’re so grateful and can’t wait for the rest of rodeo season!

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day from all of us at the Wisconsin River Pro Rodeo! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the land we love, the freedoms we cherish, and the brave men and women—past and present—who have sacrificed so much to protect them.

The American flag, the national anthem, and the traditions of rodeo all remind us of the values that bring us together: faith, family, freedom, hard work, and community.

As you gather with family and friends this Fourth of July, we hope you take a moment to reflect on how truly blessed we are to call this country home.

From our rodeo family to yours, we wish you a safe, joyful, and memorable Independence Day.

God Bless America. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
