Miss NFPB 2009
The top twenty-five bull riders in the National Federation of Professional Bullriders will be rolling into St. Joseph, Missouri this coming weekend for the 2010 Federation Finals. Four talented young ladies from across the US will also travel to St. Joseph to vie for the title of Miss NFPB 2010.
Coordinated by former Illinois High School Rodeo queen and Miss Rodeo Illinois Kelsea Walker Dodd, the pageant is patterned after traditional Miss Rodeo events and is open to contestants from all fifty United States. Contestants compete in the main categories of Appearance, Horsemanship and Personality. Each will ride an unknown horse in the horsemanship competition, present a speech about bull riding, interview with a panel of judges, take a written test over the NFPB history, rules, personnel and standings and will be judged on their photogenic qualities.
Irwin, Iowa cowgirl Rachel Burton will preside over the 2010 pageant. As the reigning Miss NFPB Rachel has traveled throughout the Midwest this past year to promote the NFPB at bull ridings, parades, rodeos, horse fairs and a multitude of other events. She is a former Miss Teen Rodeo Iowa and has her eye set on obtaining the title of Miss Rodeo Iowa. In January Rachel represented the Federation at the Miss Rodeo USA Pageant in Oklahoma City, OK where she earned first runner-up honors.
The winner of the title will be named on Sunday, April 11 during the Federation Finals awards presentation. Follow along on the pageant's Facebook group to catch all of the action.
