Press Release
The Wet Mountain Valley Rodeo Royalty is so excited for the rodeo
this weekend and want to invite you to come to any of the remaining two performances, July 19 and 20 at Wet Mountain Stampede PRCA Rodeos, both at 6 p.m.  And they will lead the Parade Saturday at 10 a.m.
2024 Queen, Paige Lorenzen, has been working hard attending local events as well as visiting other PRCA rodeos all around the state this summer, making new connections and spreading the word about our local PRCA Wet Mountain Valley Stampede. She has done a fantastic job representing our rodeo and we are so proud of the person she has grown into over this last year.
You may have seen any of the girls, Paige Lorenzen (Queen), Donna Fern (Miss Stampede), or Sarah McPherson (Princess) at the parades this summer or Saddle Club work days, where they volunteered to help spiff up the rodeo grounds before the big event this weekend. These girls are all hard workers and add so much enthusiasm to the space they are in. They have all done an amazing job representing our program.
