New rodeo queen chosen

The Ridge Rider Saddle Club has crowned their new 2016 Colorama Rodeo queen.

Caitlin O'Neil is a sophomore at Almira-Coulee-Hartline High School and definitely not a newcomer to the Colorama Rodeo, having participated many years in helping put on the Colorama Rodeo and other rodeo functions as well.

O'Neil has a big year ahead of her as she and her horse Bartender help the Ridge Riders promote 60 years of rodeo this year.

Club members congratulated O'Neil and gave a "huge thank uou" to Gunderson for a "fantastic job representing the Colorama Rodeo throughout the Northwest."
