Myra Watts Crowned Kids Rodeo Queen
August 8, 2003
Myra Leann Watts was crowned Kids
Rodeo Queen at the 66th annual event on Friday the first of
August. Myra, better known as Annie, is the 18-year-old granddaughter of
James and Charlotte Cook and Shirley Watts and is the great granddaughter
of Myra Watts.
Annie has competed in this event
since she was 8-years-old. When asked if she had anything to say her
advice was for all the participants and any future "kids." "When you
compete in any rodeo event or Princess contest, don’t give up, keep
trying, keep riding, keep smiling, because there’s nothing better for the
inside of a child than the outside of a horse!"
Kids Rodeo is held every year the
first weekend of August. Contact the La Junta Chamber of Commerce for more
information about the rodeo.
