2026 Queen Tryouts

 

On October 19th, we had the pleasure of hosting our 86th title tryouts, where six exceptional young women competed. These contestants demonstrated remarkable horsemanship, knowledge, and public speaking skills. We were honored to have the following participants:

Lacee Lady from LaPine,

Morgan Penge from Aumsville,

Grace Reed from Lebanon,

Madison Blackburn from St. Helens, and

Brooke Glascock from Corvallis

It is with great excitement that we introduce our 2026 Queen, Naomi Bailey from Newberg!

Starting January 1st, Naomi will officially begin her year as our representative, and we eagerly look forward to working with her and her family.

Thank you’s!!

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the sponsors of our Queen program:
