SHOT 1/22/2003 - Miss Rodeo Colorado Christy Spurlock of Penrose, Colo. flashes a big smile as she poses for a portrait at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo recently. The pageant is based on horsemanship, personality and appearance and the title is an entree into the Miss Rodeo America pageant that is held every year at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nev. Spurlock makes appearances at various rodeos and her main responsibility is to promote the sport of rodeo at the state of Colorado. The National Western Stock Show is held every January at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado. First held in 1906, it is the world's largest stock show by number of animals and offers the world?s only carload and pen cattle show in the historic Denver Union Stockyards. The stock show is governed by the Western Stock Show Association, a Colorado 501 (c) 3 institution, which produces the annual National Western Stock Show in an effort to forward the association's mission: "To preserve the western lifestyle by providing a showcase for the agricultural industry through emphasis on education, genetic development, innovative technology and offering the world's largest agricultural marketing opportunities." Proceeds from the National Western Stock Show go to the National Western Scholarship Trust. The Trust awards 64 scholarships annually to students studying agriculture and medicine to practice in rural areas at colleges and universities in Colorado and Wyoming..(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2003)
