The 2012 Miss Rodeo America Pageant kicked off today at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The contestants checked in this morning at the Hollywood Theater, received their banners from McKenzie Haley and then each girl had their media interviews. The next event was orientation, Tracy Damrell and Raeana Wadhams led orientation making sure the contestants had received all their information and understood the rules for the week. Each contestant introduced themselves and then answered a question, the questions were based on information they had provided on their application. Most questions were similar and asked about the girls future ambitions or how her career path tied into her rodeo ambitions.
The contestants were able to eat lunch with their parents and then move-in began. The hallways were full of luggage racks and busy parents going up and down the elevators. This evening is busy with rehearsals and clothing fittings. The hospitality room was open this afternoon and the MRA store is stocked full of merchandise, thanks to Sherry Smith for being the official buyer this year. She made sure there are lots of items to purchase.
Remember, if you would like to send emails to the contestants you can email missrodeopageant@yahoo.com and put the state name in the subject line.
