Howdy!
It’s time to participate in the first annual Montana Cowgirl Showdown in Red Lodge, Montana. This event will take place, October 12th at the Roman Theater, the longest continuous theater venue in Montana! This will be a gathering of Cowgirl Talent featuring country music, poetry, dance, and cowgirl couture. But it gets better, this event will be a fundraiser to benefit the Carbon County Historical Society and Museum. This museum was founded by the first woman to be inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame, Alice Greenough, and we are honored to follow in her footsteps to showcase the talents and gifts of other amazing cowgirls!
