Become the next Miss Rodeo Illinois
Miss Rodeo Illinois Pageant Association works to select a Miss and a Teen Ambassador of Good Will with horsemanship skills who will promote a positive image of Professional Rodeo (PRCA) and the western way of life, keeping education, leadership and personal growth in the forefront and doing so with the highest level of integrity.
The pageant is held during the Pioneer City Rodeo in Palestine, Illinois. The first Pioneer City Rodeo was held fifty-three years ago on a baseball field in Leaverton Park. The old wooden seats purchased then held only about 3,000 spectators and the ball field lights provided illumination for the night performances.
Today, The Pioneer City Rodeo is one of the premier PRCA Rodeos in Illinois. Welcoming 4,500 rodeo fans every year on Labor Day Weekend.
