Rodeo Continued from page 1 Marjorie Murphy, Texas state director of Miss Rodeo Texas Inc. said Harvey is a good role model. “She’s a goal-setter,” Murphy said. “She goes the extra mile to excel in whatever she tries to do.” In addition to preparing for the national pageant, Harvey will spend her time as Miss Rodeo Texas attending rodeos, livestock shows and fashion shows, said Linda Ebest, Texas Assistant State Director of Miss Rodeo Texas Inc. Ebest said that, as Miss Rodeo Texas, Harvey will receive a $6,0(X) scholarship from the San Antonio Livestock Show. This year, the pageant added another $2,000 to the scholarship, Ebest said. Miss Rodeo Texas Inc. holds two other pageants: Miss Rodeo Texas Teen, for girls ages 14 to 18 and Miss Rodeo Texas Prin cess, for ages 9 to 13. Harvey was previously named Miss Rodeo Texas Teen, although that is not a requirement to be crowned queen, Ebest said. Ebest said some girls dream of being crowned princess, then teen, then queen as they grow older. “We have little girls now that are vying for the princess, who want to be a triple-crown winner,” she said. Harvey and the five women she competed against for Miss Rodeo Texas spent a week being critiqued by six judges on horse manship and speeches. The judges also gave the contestants individ ual interviews, a group interview, rodeo questions and current event questions, Ebest said. Ebest said 25 to 30 women will compete for Miss Rodeo America this fall.
