Thank you for your interest in the Miss U.P. Rodeo Queen & Princess competition. Miss U.P.

During their title year both the queen and the princess will represent the U.P. Championship Rodeo at events and other rodeos throughout the U.P. and the Upper Midwest.

Eligibility

The queen pageant is open to young women ages 16 to 24 while the princess pageant is open to girls ages 11 to 15. Contestants do not need to reside in the U.P. or even Michigan, girls from all over are eligible to vie for the titles.

Becoming the UP Rodeo Queen was a childhood dream come true. Having the opportunity to represent something that I love was indescribable. Throughout my reign I traveled to many rodeos in the U.P. and Wisconsin. I also made appearances in parades and other public events. One of my favorite experiences as queen was when I visited the Niagara schools kindergarten class. Being able to share my rodeo knowledge with little cowboys and cowgirls was incredible because I was once in their “boots”. I highly encourage any girl who is even the slightest bit interested to run for a title. Not only have I gained wonderful memories, but lasting friendships. I hope to see you at the rodeo! — Clara Churchill, Miss U.P. Rodeo 2015
