Rodeo royalty

This weekend Moorcroft hosted the competition to name this year’s Crook County Rodeo Royalty.

The girls rode Friday evening, showing their saddle and reining skills as well as the requisite wave before stepping to the ground to listen as the judge critiqued their work.

The remainder of the competition took place at Saturday night’s banquet, where candidates demonstrated their verbal skills and style with a speech and walk.

The winners of this year’s Rodeo Royalty will be announced at the Crook County Fair Parade on Main Street in Sundance, which is set to kick off the final day of fair week on Saturday, July 31.
