The Bell Fourche Post & Bee has a story about Miss Rodeo South Dakota, Marie Schaller from Wessington Springs. Excerpt (I especially like her comment at the end):
Her coronation at the Mitchell Corn Palace brought out 400 people. Proceeds go to help her in her travels and with wardrobe.
Having to raise your own funds and hitting the road behind the wheel of a big pickup and trailer rig sounds like a rough year, but Schaller said, "It's not hard because I love it so much."
She smiled: "It's rodeo and the people involved in rodeo. The western way of life, sealing a deal with a handshake and the pleasures of walking through a freshly-cut alfalfa field, chores in the fresh air, driving at night and not seeing a single yard light."
