2023 Evanston Cowboy Days Princess 2nd Attendant- Genevieve Graham
Genevieve Graham, “G” for short is the daughter of Joe and Mckenzie Graham. G is a 13 year old, 5 foot 11 inch farm girl from Heber, Utah. Unlike a lot of girls in this community, G does not come from a long line of horsemen, she is the first in her family. G found her passion for horses when she was five years old. She began in english hunter/jumper and made her way into western two years ago. G has admired the rodeo queens from afar for years and finally decided it was her turn. She is so excited to be a part of the Cowboy Days royalty. G also holds the first attendant title of Little Miss Buckaroo, Summit County. When G isn’t riding her horses and wearing a crown she plays midfielder for the Wasatch Wasps Lacrosse team in the spring and point guard for the Wasatch basketball team in the winter, all the other seasons, in her opinion, are horse seasons.
G also loves to play at the river with her brother, make believe horse rides with her baby sisters, jump on the tramp, raise her chickens, snuggle the cats, climb trees, read the classics (She loves Anne of Green Gables), make bonfires in the backyard, go barefoot as much as she can and rope the cow head named Bessie.
Genevieve is very honored and excited to represent Evanston Cowboy Days. She looks forward to meeting members of the community and being a part of preserving the western way of life.
