The Queen Pageant has been held for many years, and historically, we have not had security present at this event. We have never experienced issues that would lead us to believe that additional security is necessary for this particular gathering. The Queen Pageant is a community -focused event attended.by families, local supporters, rodeo participants, and members of our community. We believe the nature of the event and the respectful crowd it attracts make additional security unnecessary. Jill Tonne, Director of the Queen Pageant, is committed to ensuring that the pageant remains a safe, enjoyable, and successful community gathering. We understand and appreciate the County's responsibility to ensure the safety of events held in our community. However, given the long history of this event being held safely without security, we respectfully ask that you consider waiving the security requirement for this year's event. We are committed to working with the County and following any reasonable safety requirements or recommendations you may have. We would greatly appreciate your consideration of our request. Thank you for your time and consideration, and for your continued support of our local rodeo and community events.
