2012 Pageant Contestants
The first Miss Rodeo Kansas Pageant was held during the 1963 Flint Hills Rodeo. Contestants were judged on the same criteria as today; Horsemanship, Appearance and Personality.
In 1981 the pageant was moved to Wichita, Kansas for the Prairie Circuit Rodeo. In 1984 the competition was held in Colby, Kansas in conjunction with the Thomas County Fair. MRK is now held in Dodge City, Kansas and the franchise is held by Dodge City Roundup, Inc. In 1987 the scholarship award was added. This gives the contestants a chance to further their education with the help of Kansas sponsors. The Dodge City pageant committee added the Princess contest in 1992 to help young ladies gather interest in the sport of rodeo and the Miss Rodeo Kansas Pageant. This offers younger girls more experience in the pageant competition. The Princess pageant name changed to the Miss Teen Rodeo Kansas Pageant in 2006.
The pageant is held annually to select a young lady who has the desire and enthusiasm to serve as a goodwill ambassador for the Sport of Rodeo and the State of Kansas. Miss Rodeo Kansas will represent the state at the Miss Rodeo America Pageant held in conjunction with the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
