The weather was stunning, our photographer was absolutely incredible, and the girls were nothing short of outstanding. They showed up with the biggest smiles and represented the Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo so well!

I can’t wait to share these photos with y’all! For now, here’s a little behind-the-scenes peek at all the fun! 🤠💗

Thank you Cassie Z Photography and Nikki for your help! Could not have asked for a better team!

Happy National Day of the Cowgirl!

Today we celebrate the girls who aren’t afraid to get a little dirt on their boots, work hard, ride with purpose, and carry the Western way of life with pride.

Our Hoot Gibson royalty are resilient. They are powerful. They are kind, hardworking, and proud to represent the traditions, values, and spirit of the Western lifestyle.

To our cowgirls, keep riding tall, chasing your dreams, and showing the world what it means to be a cowgirl. We are so proud to have you wear the crown! 👑🐴🇺🇸

Happy National Day of the Cowgirl! 🤠

🇺🇸 Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the families forever changed.

May we always honor their sacrifice, remember their courage, and never take for granted the freedom we are blessed to have.

God Bless America. 🇺🇸

🐴✨ A BUSY WEEKEND FOR OUR QUEEN! 👑

Our Queen Cate has been on the go, and what an adventure it has been! 🤠

Cate spent the week at Tien Quarter Horses in Prairie View, Kansas, getting a firsthand look at what goes into the equine reproduction industry. She jumped right in and helped wherever she could — from cleaning stalls and washing horses to riding, doing chores, and even helping halter break a c**t! 🐴❤️ Of course, we had to get a few pictures of our queen in her rodeo gear with her little c**t friend! 😅👑

On her way home from Kansas, Cate made a stop in Kearney at the therapeutic horseback riding show, where she had the opportunity to sign autographs, take pictures, and hand out medals to some amazing riders. What a special experience! 🏅🐎

AND THEN… because apparently one adventure wasn’t enough… 😂 Cate stopped at the Archway in Kearney to learn a little more about Nebraska history! 🌾📚

From learning about the equine industry, getting her hands dirty, supporting therapeutic riders, and learning about our great state — our Queen Cate is making the most of every opportunity!

We are so proud of you, Cate! Keep learning, keep helping, and keep representing the Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo wherever you go! 👑♥️🐴

🐴A Little Horsepower in Magnolia! 🇺🇸

Our Queen Cate Brunow made her way to Magnolia, Iowa over the weekend to ride in the Old Settlers Parade! 🎉

Cate was joined by a friend, and together they represented the rodeo in style! They may have been the only two horses in the entire parade, but that certainly didn’t stop them from having a BLAST! 🐎❤️

We love seeing our royalty out in the community, making memories, meeting new people, and proudly representing the Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo wherever they go!

Thank you, Cate, for always showing up and representing us with such heart! We’re so proud of you! 👑🐴

Our Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo Princess, Macie, spent Sunday, August 2, representing our rodeo family at the Tekamah Sweet Corn Festival, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

The Tri-County Saddle Club was honored to be selected as a Week of Giving recipient, and Macie was right there alongside us, helping sell pop and pickles, visiting with members of our community, and sharing smiles with everyone who stopped by our booth.

Having Macie there meant so much to our club. Her willingness to give back, support our fundraising efforts, and connect with our community is exactly what being Hoot Gibson royalty is all about. We are incredibly proud of the young lady she is and thankful she chose to spend part of her Sunday serving alongside us.

Thank you, Macie, for your heart, your kindness, and your dedication to the Tri-County Saddle Club and the Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo. We’re so proud to have you as our princess! 💙🤍🌽👑

This past weekend, our 2026 Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo Queen, Cate Brunow, traveled to Troy, Kansas, to represent Hoot Gibson and the great state of Nebraska at the Doniphan County Rodeo!

Cate attended alongside the Loess Hills Heatwave Drill Team, where she proudly performed with her team throughout the weekend. In addition to her drill performances, she spent time queening, pushing cattle, and representing Hoot Gibson with grace and professionalism everywhere she went.

She was also joined by Miss Nebraska Cowgirl Princess, AvaLynn Swassing, and together they had an unforgettable weekend making memories, meeting new people, and celebrating their love of rodeo.

We are incredibly proud of Cate for the dedication she continues to show not only to Hoot Gibson, but to the sport of rodeo and the western way of life. Watching our queen travel, perform with the Loess Hills Heatwave Drill Team, and serve as an ambassador for Nebraska is something truly special.

Way to go, Cate! Thank you for representing Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo with such pride. We can’t wait to see where your next adventure takes you! ❤️

The Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo is more than just a rodeo, it’s a tradition, a gathering place, and a piece of our community’s history. ❤️

We are incredibly honored to have been selected as a recipient of funding through Tekamah’s Week of Giving, hosted by the Tekamah Chamber of Commerce.

Every June, families, friends, volunteers, contestants, and spectators come together to celebrate a tradition that has brought our community together for generations. None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our community.

The funds raised through Week of Giving will go directly toward improving our facilities, helping us create a safer, more welcoming, and more enjoyable experience for everyone who walks through our gates. Every improvement we make is an investment in the future of this rodeo and in the memories that will be made here for years to come.

Whether you’ve competed in our arena, cheered from the grandstands, volunteered behind the scenes, or simply made the Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo part of your summer tradition, this rodeo belongs to all of us.

We ask for your support as we continue preserving this special tradition for future generations. Every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement helps us continue the legacy.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our rodeo, our volunteers, and our community. We couldn’t do it without you. 🤍🤠

There’s nothing we love more than seeing our royalty represent both the rodeo arena and their communities!

Our 2026 Hoot Gibson Memorial Rodeo Queen, Cate Brunow, is a proud member of Harrison County 4-H in Iowa. This past weekend, she competed in the Harrison County Fair Horse Show, where she and her horses earned several awards. We couldn’t be more proud of all the hard work and dedication she puts into her horses!

As if that wasn’t enough, Cate also participated in the fair’s horse costume contest… and dressed up as none other than a rodeo queen! 👑🐴 We absolutely love the creativity and think she wore the title perfectly.

Cate, thank you for representing Hoot Gibson with grace, kindness, and dedication wherever you go! Congratulations on a fantastic weekend ❤️
