Reigning Miss Rodeo America Selena Ulch Views the Newly Expanded Exhibit

WOW ~ what a difference a little space makes!  Thanks to the efforts of PRCA Commissioner Troy Ellerman, the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame's new Executive Director, Larry McCormack, and Julie Jutten from the Hall of Fame staff, the Miss Rodeo America Exhibit has taken on a wonderful new look.  Julie did a wonderful job fitting everything into the exhibit that was provided.  We owe these individuals a huge thank you for allowing the Miss Rodeo America organization the opportunity to showcase some of its heritage in the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and Museum.

Included in the exhibit: Dress designed by Nell's Creations for Lori Bortner, Miss Rodeo America 2003; Boots worn by Almabeth Carroll, Miss Rodeo America 1978; Chaps designed by Tim Bath for Sandy Meyer, Miss Rodeo America 1984; Nudies Hollywood suit and belt worn by Karen Lavens, Miss Rodeo America 1962; Saddle won by Chris Vincent, Miss Rodeo America 1970; Lambskin dress design by Western Reflections and worn by Tara Graham, Miss Rodeo America 2001; Chaps worn by Chrissy Sparling, Miss Rodeo America 1989; Trophy presented to Martha Lehmann, Miss Rodeo America 1960 and Miss Rodeo America buckles manufactured by Silver State Silver from Reno, NV and Award Design Medals from Noble, OK.  The exhibit also includes photos of reigning Miss Rodeo America, Selena Ulch and a listing of all 50 Miss Rodeo America's names and the year of their reign.  Several additional items will  be included at a later date including the return of the original Black Hills Gold Tiara presented to Pat Koren, Miss Rodeo America 1965.

Located near the staircase as you enter the main museum exhibit floor, the Miss Rodeo America Exhibit, along with seventeen state title holders and Selena, drew a large crowd of spectators and photographers during the recent Induction Ceremony at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and Museum in Colorado Springs.
