Pageant queens and rodeo queens are part of the long history of Jim Bowie Days.
When the event began nearly 50 years ago, the event was more of a pageant conducted by the Amity Club from 1967 to 1986.
Girls were judged on appearance, poise and personality in evening gowns and western wear, plus an interview during a tea or luncheon.
After the club stopped its pageant, the rodeo association took it on as a rodeo queen where horsemanship became part of the judging in the parade and arena, as well as appearance, poise and personality.
Miss Jim Bowie Days and Little Miss serve as ambassadors for the celebration and Bowie throughout their year. Three young women are vying for Miss Jim Bowie Days and two for Little Miss.
The winners will be crowned at Saturday night’s rodeo.
Contestants for Miss Jim Bowie Days are Alyssa Stephenson, Michala Wilson and Shelby Avara. Little Miss JBD contestants are Cassid Wilson and Morgan Martin.
Meet all these young ladies in your mid-week Bowie News.
