The Fallon Junior Rodeo Queen is more than a title — she’s the face of the rodeo, a poised young ambassador who promotes the sport, represents her community, and inspires others with grace, grit, and horsemanship.

Since 2017, the Fallon Junior Rodeo has proudly crowned a queen each year to represent the event and its values. Open to girls ages 6 to 13, the queen pageant challenges contestants to showcase their skills in speech, horsemanship, overall appearance, and personality. She must be able to speak knowledgeably about all things rodeo, as well as jump on a horse anytime and perform her duties. 

This year’s pageant will take place on Thursday, August 29, at 5:30 p.m., with the crowning during the lunch break at the Fallon Junior Rodeo on Friday, August 30.

The Fallon Junior Rodeo Queen contest is a rigorous competition designed to highlight well-rounded cowgirls who know their rodeo and can speak with confidence, ride with skill, and represent with pride. 

Whether she’s making public appearances, promoting the rodeo, or swinging into the saddle with confidence, the Fallon Jr. Rodeo Queen represents dedication, community pride, and true rodeo spirit.

Thanks to the efforts of Loni Faught, the 1995 National High School Rodeo Queen, and Jennifur Peek, a former Nevada High School Rodeo Queen, who helped establish and expand the Fallon Jr. Rodeo Queen contest, this proud rodeo tradition continues to thrive.

Past Fallon Jr. Rodeo Queens include Josie Peek (2017), Haylee Soffel (2018), and Lauren Goings, who graciously served for both 2019 and 2020 during the pandemic. Stella Lee held the title in 2021, followed by Macady Bogdanowicz in 2022, Evva Brown in 2023, and Mylee Macedo in 2024.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
