In addition to our Miss Rodeo North Texas Fair Queen, our Miss Rodeo North Texas Fair Princess is competing at the Miss Rodeo Texas pageant this month! We are proud of you and wish you all the luck, Mckinley!

🤠✨2026 Contestant Highlight Series✨🤠

Meet contestant Mckinley Wagley, who is competing for the title of Miss Rodeo Texas Princess!

“I want to become Miss Rodeo Texas Princess because I love the sport of rodeo and everything it stands for. Rodeo has helped shape who I am by teaching me confidence, responsibility, and respect.

I love representing my rodeo and meeting new people. Being involved in community outreach and teaching others about horses and rodeo is one of my favorite parts of being a titleholder.

It would mean so much to take the North Texas Fair and Rodeo title to the state level and proudly carry the title from the rodeo that first gave me the chance, as I chase the state title that has been my dream since I was 7 years old.”

✨ Mckinley’s hobbies & memberships include:
• Horseback riding
• Rodeo queening
• Elite Team Competitive Dance
• Ballet
• Jazz
• Contemporary
• Lyrical
• Musical Theater
• Pointe

Stay tuned to learn more about Mckinley today!
