What an unforgettable time in Altus, Oklahoma! 🤠🇺🇸
I was so honored to be invited to the Great Plains Stampede Rodeo, and this experience was truly one I will never forget! From getting to run flags, participate in the opening, and make queen runs, to getting to experience so much of what makes the Altus community so special, I am incredibly grateful for every moment.
One of the highlights of the trip was getting to participate in the cattle drive through Altus Air Force Base! We also had the opportunity to visit a local school, tour a C-17, and ride in the Altus parade. Getting to see the connection between the western way of life and the incredible men and women who serve our country was such a meaningful experience. 🇺🇸🐂
But what made this trip especially memorable was the people of Altus. Everywhere we went, we were welcomed with so much kindness, positivity, and genuine excitement. It was so special to feel the community come together and to be welcomed with open arms.
Thank you to everyone who made the Great Plains Stampede such an incredible experience and for allowing me to be a small part of it. I am leaving Altus with a very full heart and so many wonderful memories! ❤️
Altus, you truly made this rodeo queen feel right at home!
