Miss Rodeo Wyoming 2023 fundraiser set

by Wyoming Livestock Roundup

Reata Cook was crowned Miss Rodeo Wyoming 2023 Aug. 18 at the Wyoming State Fair (WSF). In the coming year, she will travel around Wyoming and the U.S. representing the professional sport of rodeo and the Cowboy State. 

“I plan to be the example of what America was founded on, our Western heritage and the values it represents and show what sets Wyoming apart from the rest of the country,” Cook writes. “I look forward to being a role model to younger girls and a positive influence on everyone I meet while staying true to my morals, values and faith.”

Her year will culminate at the Miss Rodeo America 2024 Pageant held in December 2023 in conjunction with the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

Cook’s coronation and fundraiser will be held Nov. 5 at the Best Western in Sheridan. This event is Cook’s primary fundraiser, and support will help provide her with the resources she needs during the coming year. The evening’s event will include dinner, live music, dancing, raffles and live and silent auctions. 

Support may be in the form of silent or live auction items including gift certificates, baked items, services, etc. which may be auctioned off at the event. Cash contributions to offset costs of the events throughout Cook’s travels are also welcomed. This is a great opportunity for local businesses.
