While traveling across the state and the country, Stacy Jo will be promoting her platform, “Whip into Shape”. She will be emphasizing the importance of exercise and nutrition, along with the importance of the agriculture industry, and how these fit into the sport of rodeo. Stacy Jo explains, “The agriculture industry provides us with our nutritious foods from the fruits, grains and vegetables to quality meats and dairy products. Each event in the sport of rodeo came from necessary activities on farms and ranches. If these agriculture activities did not exist, we would not be able to produce the excellent food sources we currently possess. I believe that I will be able to show how our quality of life depends on the habits we develop today”.
As Miss Rodeo Wyoming, Stacy Jo believes this will give her another opportunity to affect people’s lives in a positive and uplifting manner. Stacy Jo says, “We need positive role models in our society, such as Miss Rodeo Wyoming that possess high moral and ethical standards, integrity and ambition. By demonstrating these qualities, we are preserving the western way of life, the sport of rodeo and the values from which our country was founded.”
God Bless
