We are securing sponsors for the 2026 Miss Sunbelt Expo Rodeo Queen Pageant "Long Live Cowgirls!" and we need your help!!! The Sunbelt Ag Expo is recognized by the IRS as a 501c # non-profit corporation. You can receive confirmation of your donation stating that no goods or services were received in exchange for your gift for tax filing purposes! Why should you donate and how will you benefit by donating?
The Miss Sunbelt Rodeo Queen Pageant was started in 2014 and is one of the only rodeo queen pageants in Georgia that; crowns a queen and 7 princesses each year, is open to girls from ages 3 to 26, you do not have to be from the state of Georgia to compete. Our queen will go on to compete for the Miss Rodeo USA Pageant in Oklahoma in January!!!
This years’ event will be held August 15 & 16 in Moultrie, Georgia. During the 2-day event, girls will all sit down with our panel of judges for their official interview. Older aged groups will be required to take a written test on horse and rodeo knowledge. Next up is our fashion show and luncheon where the contestants will model western fashions and older girls will give speeches and answer impromptu questions. The coronation will be held on Sunday. Contestants will enjoy a reception and learn who our new queen and 7 princesses are!
Our event typically brings in around 125 people (Face-to-Face contacts) and a larger number of indirect contacts. We create pre-event, event and post-event social media messages to create strong, lasting brand awareness in our community. Your name will be listed in our pageant program and be announced during our luncheon and our coronation and if you have a banner, we would love to hang the banner at the arena during Horsemanship.
We accept monetary or in-kind donations from individuals and/or businesses and no gift is too small. Your support is greatly appreciated!!!
