Oakdale, CA…Michelle Hewitt of Tracy CA,  Janna Frank of Oakdale, and McKensey Middleton of Hathaway Pines have been very busy with competition signup, registration meetings, and a number of practices.  The contestants were introduced to the public at the Ripon Almond Blossom Parade followed by a Rodeo fund raiser at Mountain Mikes Pizza and the Oakdale Saddle Club annual Testicle Festival.  The contestants are also highly encouraged to attend many additional community events and sell tickets for the rodeo.  The Miss Rodeo Oakdale contest required the girl’s participation in Horsemanship, a personal interview, contestant speeches.  The competition portion of the contest concluded with ticket sales turn in and a written test covering the PRCA, Oakdale Saddle Club, the Oakdale community, and horse husbandry.
