Dayville teen chasing Elgin rodeo crown
By STEVEN MITCHELL
Blue Mountain Eagle
ELGIN — After being
crowned Oregon High School
Rodeo Queen last week, Day-
ville’s Rowdy Israel is hoping
to represent Grant County July
6-9 at the Elgin Stampede as
she looks to be named queen of
the stampede.
Israel, 16, said that in addi-
tion to representing the county,
she also wants to honor the
memory of former Elgin Stam-
pede President Ty Hallgarth,
who died earlier this year. She
said Hallgarth, who had been
president of the Elgin rodeo
for fi ve years, was a friend and
supporter.
On the back of a horse as
far back as she can remem-
ber, Israel told the Eagle that
most weekends, she is gone rid-
ing horses and competing in
rodeos. Her events are break-
away roping, goat tying and
pole bending. Israel said she
tried out for the Elgin Stam-
pede rodeo queen nomination
in August and has been com-
peting for the crown since May.
Israel is one of three con-
testants vying for the Stam-
pede Queen title. The Elgin
Stampede judges evaluate can-
didates in three categories:
horsemanship, public speak-
ing and ticket sales. Each can-
didate must perform a rid-
ing pattern, give a speech and
sell tickets to the Stampede.
The categories are scored
individually.
Having been named Lit-
tle Miss Grant County in 2014
and Little Miss National Pro-
fessional Rodeo in 2017, Israel
said she has always been proud
to represent Grant County.
With aspirations of one day
being crowned Miss Rodeo
America, Israel said she always
hopes to have the county’s sup-
port behind her.
“I’ve been representing
Grant County for quite some
time now,” she said. “Dayville
is my home, so I am part of the
county.”
The 75th annual Elgin
Stampede Professional Rodeo
Cowboys Association Rodeo
will feature four days of enter-
tainment and activities, includ-
ing a parade and dance.
The coronation is Thursday,
July 7. Those looking to throw
their support behind Israel can
purchase tickets from her by
calling 541-620-3272.
