Hi Everyone:
My name is Linda Chase and I have the honor of being the Miss UPRA Queen Director. This year will make my 5th year as the Director. The UPRA Board are a wonderful group of people who not just love the Sport of Rodeo, but are always looking for was to improve each event and the association as a whole.
So much progress has been made in the contest. Last year was the second year for the Miss UPRA Scholarship Foundation. We awarded $1500.00 in scholarship money to the Queen and her court. When we totaled up the awards and gifts that were given we gave out close to $8000.00 in all. No one left emptied handed. We were honored to give a NEW AWARD and that was the Sportmanship Award. This is given in honor of Bruce Emorys parents and is sponsored by the Emory's. I am already working on this years contest and anyone interested in giving to the Scholarship Foundation, or becoming a Miss UPRA Sponsor feel free to contact me.
If you have any questions about the Miss UPRA Pageant just contact me. The age to be able to run for the title is 16-24 as of Jan.1 2010.
May God Bless and Keep Everyone,
Linda Chase
