MEET MISS RODEO ILLINOIS AT THE EFFINGHAM RODEO:
Brooklyn Hazel is the 21-year-old daughter of Rodney and Sara Hazel of
Albion, Ill. Brooklyn is a graduate of Edwards County High School and
recently graduated from Southeastern Illinois College with an associate in art
and an associate in science.
​
Agriculture became a major element in her life during her years in high
school where she was heavily involved in her FFA chapter. Brooklyn’s love for
horses started at a young age where she showed in her 4-h club, local
shows, and eventually she started going to AQHA shows. Brooklyn’s passion
for rodeo came later in life when she started barrel racing at local rodeos.
This is what sparked her interest to run for the title of Miss Rodeo Illinois.
Brooklyn is now excited to represent an organization that promotes
agriculture and the western way of life. Aside from the arena, Brooklyn
enjoys helping with functions at her church and volunteering in her
community.
​
Brooklyn will be traveling the U.S. promoting Illinois, professional
rodeo, agriculture, and the western way of life. She will have the once in a
lifetime opportunity to compete for the coveted Miss Rodeo America crown in
December in conjunction with the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. The
Miss Rodeo America pageant is a weeklong pageant where state titleholders
compete in the areas of appearance, horsemanship, and personality. This
pageant has been o3ering women the opportunity to create solid
foundations for their future endeavors, since 1955. Miss Rodeo America has
become a part of a great legacy and part of rodeo history.
ROMAN RIDER TO PERFORM AT THE EFFINGHAM PRORODEO!
Dusti Dickerson was born and raised with horses and rodeo!
Her father and uncle owned and operated a small rodeo company from the time Dusti was 3 years old. She grew up barrel racing, carrying flags and was also a competitive gymnast. Unbeknownst to her parents they had created a perfect storm of a daughter to become a trick and Roman rider.
​
Dusti first saw trick and Roman riding a dinner show in Branson, Mo. She was hooked the minute she saw the fast horses, acrobatics and fancy costumes! She went home, practiced countless hours on some reliable pickup horses and away she went!!
​
After Dustis first performance at age 11 she has become one of the most known Roman Riders in the country. She is most known for her unique style of Roman riding bareback and barefoot atop very fast horses!
​
At just 18 years old she became the featured Roman rider at the legendary Dolly Partons Stampede in Pigeon Forge, Tn. She held that position for 13 years before moving to her hometown of St. Peter, Illinois and hitting the rodeo road full time! In the past three years she has been as far east as New York and as far west as California. She’s been featured at the Cheyenne Frontier Days and was the chosen Specialty Act at the Great Lakes PRCA Circuit Finals and also at the First Frontier PRCA Circuit Finals!
​
Dusti now resides in her hometown in southern Illinois where she and her family operate a riding arena where basic riding lessons, Fun shows, clinics and rodeos take place! She also travels to events across the country!!
​
This year Dusti is especially excited to perform in Altamont Illinois at the first PRCA event to take place!
