Queen Audriyona honored to represent Wasco County; Fair tickets on sale

Wasco County Queen Audriyona Gilbert

From The Wasco County Fair:

“My name is Audriyona Gilbert. I am a 15-year-old freshman in high school and a tribal member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. I have been riding horses to participate in rodeos and parades since I was 7 years old.

I am also in my 10th year of ballet and 5th year in softball. I was inspired to try out for Wasco County Queen by my love for riding horses but also to send a positive message to other native girls who might be interested in running for royalty. It is my honor to Represent Wasco County at upcoming parades & rodeos around the Northwest for 2024. Hope to see you at future events!”

That includes the Wasco County Fair!
