Inside the Pageant - Thursday November 30

No matter how well you prepare, you should expect the unexpected.  Blogger Shelia Croft sat down with four contestants and asked them what unexpected thing had happened to them this week.

Jesse Gearhart, Miss Rodeo New Mexico, replied "The morning of horsemanship I went to layout my horsemanship outfit and it was not there! I panicked but the wonderful chaperones contacted my mom and it was found in my mom's room.  It had gotten left behind in my mom's room."

Kristina Spitale, Miss Rodeo Nevada, was surprised at how sore her legs were.  "Given the fact that we ride so much I didn't expect to get sore, but thanks to all of the dance practice we have sore muscles we didn't even know we had!".

Adrienne Borden, Miss Rodeo Mississippi, was surprised at how nervous she was before her interview.  "I normally don't get nervous, but in anticipation of the interview I found that I got really nervous this time around."

Cassidy Han, Miss Rodeo Montana, also had a horsemanship outfit 'moment'.  "I had 1 1/2 outfits still at the designers when I left to come to Vegas.   They were to arrive over the weekend but they didn't get here until Monday morning.  One of the items was my belt for my horsemanship outfit.  My roommate and I got together and found a belt in our collections that I could make due with.  Fortuatley, my belt showed up before horsemanship began.".

And once again, these experience just go to show that you should always expect the unexpected!
