Bonner cowgirl crowned rodeo queen

May 29, 2008

— The 49th annual Abdallah Shrine Rodeo kicked off Thursday with a rodeo queen crowning - and a Bonner Springs resident was this year's queen.

Bonner Springs' Alyssa Morrison won this year's crown.

The 2007 queen April Brown, presented Morrison with a floral bouquet before Shriners attached the queen's tiara on her hat.

"There was so much competition that I really had no idea," the Bonner Springs resident said. "I wasn't expecting this at all."

First runner-up for queen was Emma Glaspy and second runner-up was Jennifer Keefe.

The rodeo was Thursday through Saturday at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds in Tonganoxie.
