2012 Queen Matlyn Matta of Woodlake
For more than a half century, Woodlake cowboys have paid tribute to young horsewomen in our community by crowning an annual Rodeo Queen.
Each year the Woodlake Lions crowns a Rodeo Queen to reign over the Annual Woodlake Lions Rodeo. The Rodeo Queen is honored with a sparkling tiara, a beautiful belt buckle and a finely tooled leather saddle donated by Valley Business Bank.
Queen contestants are judged on three criteria: horsemanship, poise and personality and ticket drawing sales. To be eligible, applicants must be between 16-24 years and unmarried. Young women from throughout the area are encouraged to apply.
Official queen and court portraits are taken by Trudy Johnson Photography.
A special thank you to our Rodeo Queen Contest committee: Tyler Baker, Trilby Barton, Pam Whiteside and Andrea Searcy.

The deadline for submitting an application each year is January 31. For further information, please contact Pam Whiteside.
