Stilettos N' Spurs

Stilettos N' Spurs Whether you are rocking stilettos or spurs I offer pageant coaching from the stage, to the dirt, and everywhere in between.

As a current judge, certified personal development coach, and former Miss Idaho Rodeo USA winner, I have the skills and experience necessary to guide you down the trail of pageant success. I specialize in interview skills, stage presence, body language, self-development, and modeling. As a published author and nationally qualifying public speaker, I have a passion for writing speeches and I am abl

e to teach girls how to best execute them to show off their personality. I set up mock interviews with local judges for the girls I coach, go over good sportsmanship like behavior (because in this arena reputation is everything) and I help you achieve the perfect competition head shot by setting you up with the best pageant photographer in the area, HK photography. My goal is to help each girl develop the confidence and skill sets needed not only to win that coveted crown but to ensure her success in her future work field and throughout her life. That's what pageants are all about and that is why I love what I do. I would be privileged to have the opportunity to work with you.

Looking forward to this exciting new chapter as the War Bonnet Round Up Royalty Director!

Looking forward to this exciting new chapter as the War Bonnet Round Up Royalty Director!

We are so excited to officially introduce our War Bonnet Round Up Royalty Court for 2026, but first, we'd like to introduce the woman leading the way: our new Royalty Director, Shannon Dooley!

Shannon is no stranger to the War Bonnet Round Up. She was a Coca-Cola Cowgirl in the 90s and went on to serve as Miss War Bonnet Round Up for two years in the early 2000s. As a kid, she competed in barrel racing, pole bending, and goat tying during the War Bonnet pre-rodeo entertainment, and she later served as a War Bonnet flag girl. In 2021, the Board honored her as a Legend of the War Bonnet.

Shannon brings years of experience in the rodeo queen world as a competitor, judge, coach, and clinician, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her leading our royalty program.

Stay tuned! We can't wait to introduce you to our extraordinary 2026 court beginning TOMORROW! đź‘‘

Our first-ever Miss Rodeo America has headed to Heaven. Marilyn Scott Freimark was born on October 15, 1936 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and made history as the inaugural Miss Rodeo America in 1955 after sweeping the pageant.

The face of our sport four years before we even had our first NFR passed peacefully at 89 on April 4. But not before living a memorable, full life and raising a beautiful family.

At that original Miss Rodeo America Pageant in 1955, which was held in Casper, Marilyn won all three categories of the competition, which included horsemanship, personality and appearance. She wore that first MRA crown proudly, toured the country as our leading lady and rodeo ambassador, and made lifelong connections and friendships with generations of our rodeo family.

Marilyn graduated from Cheyenne High School, and studied business and mass communications at Colorado State University. Beyond our rodeo arena, she was a talented athlete who excelled at tennis, swimming, polo, marksmanship and ice skating. The natural beauty also competed in the 1954 Miss Universe Pageant.

Marilyn married Paul Painter, and they raised four children to love ranching and rodeo like we do near Buffalo, South Dakota. Marilyn later married Dr. Lyle Freimark, in 1985, and made her home in Spearfish.

In honor of her lifelong contributions to our sport, Marilyn was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. Beloved in her golden years as Grandma M by her own family and young people in many others, Marilyn was a great cheerleader in all sports and aspects of life. I just today learned that professional breakaway roper Joey Williams, who’s a four-time National Finals Breakaway Roping qualifier, is one of Marilyn’s grandchildren. And Riley Routier, the husband of six-time NFR barrel racer Jessica Routier, is Marilyn’s grandson.

The life of Marilyn Scott Freimark will be celebrated at 1 p.m. on April 14 at Leverington Funeral Home of the Northern Hills in Belle Fourche, South Dakota.

Ride high, cowgirl. Love to all who were lucky enough to know you.
