This will be an opportunity to meet this year’s three contestants, take in some western fashion and listen to the contestants answer impromptu questions and give their final speeches, says contest co-ordinator Davana Mahon.
There are three contestants vying for the position of 2017/18 Stampede Queen, Kaylee Billyboy, Miss Gustafson’s Dodge; Tennale Sailor, Miss Beaver Valley Feeds; and Brianna Wyness, Miss Tim Hortons.
