I woke up the morning of last day of the CRTC, thinking about my final impromptu speech of the competition. Little did I know that there would be many more speeches to come that day. My heart was pounding as the six finalists lined up the end of the Arena. When my name was called as the 2009 Stampede Queen I went numb. The next couple of hours were a blur of camera flashes and congratulations. This Saturday marks the first official appearance for Tara, Kateri and myself……..your 2009 Royal Trio.
