Fair & Rodeo Queen

Who is Miss Utah State Fair & Rodeo?

Miss Utah State Fair & Rodeo serves as a proud ambassador for Utah’s Own PRCA Rodeo, the Utah State Fair, and the agricultural traditions they celebrate. She represents the prestige of her title with professionalism, confidence, and respect throughout her reign.

As the face of the rodeo and the Utah State Fair, she plays a key role in promoting the fair’s mission of celebrating Utah’s rich agricultural heritage, entertainment, and community spirit. She makes appearances throughout the 11-day fair and beyond at media events, parades, fundraisers, autograph signings, community gatherings, meet-and-greets, and rodeos. She connects with diverse audiences—including families, fairgoers, rodeo enthusiasts, and even skeptics—demonstrating grace, authenticity, and strong communication skills.

Her deep understanding of professional rodeo and the State Fair, along with her ability to represent them with credibility and integrity, helps elevate their reputation. She embodies sportsmanship, high moral character, and a commitment to the humane and ethical treatment of animals.

Beyond the rodeo, Miss Utah State Fair & Rodeo is also an advocate for everything that makes the Utah State Fair unforgettable—from thrilling rides and world-class entertainment to prize-winning livestock and, of course, the legendary fair food. After all, no trip to the fair is complete without cheering on a mutton bustin’ champion, taking a spin on the Ferris wheel, and indulging in at least one deep-fried delight (or three).
