Dreams for little cowgirls begin with seeing their first pony, first rodeo, or first Rodeo Royalty. We know the importance of making dreams come true and we wanted it to be a special moment in their lives. In 2019 the Gem/Boise Rodeo Royalty court saw the importance of making dreams come true and created “The Sweethearts of the Rodeo”. Twelve young ladies will be crowned and titled Friday night in the main arena. In 2024 with becoming the Black Canyon Stock Show & Rodeo our Sweethearts aren't just any cowgirls; they're rodeo magic-makers! They sprinkle laughter, twirls, and sparkles wherever they go. During the Black Canyon Stock Show & Rodeo, you might see them riding on beautiful floats, waving to all the little buckaroos like you!
So, put on your cowboy boots, grab your favorite hat, and get ready for a rip-roaring good time with the Black Canyon Rodeo Sweethearts! Yeehaw!
This is a non-horse honor but they will have the opportunity to represent their titles in the Cherry Festival, Magic on Main Street Holiday parade, and any other parade or event they wish to participate in.
A simple application and a small entry fee are all it takes. If you have any questions you can contact us at gemboisequeen@gmail.com.
