Hello
everyone, let me introduce myself!
My
name is Morgan Erickson and I am so excited to be your new Miss Rodeo South
Dakota 2023. I reside in the Black Hills of South Dakota in Hot Springs where I
am involved in the school district as a substitute teacher and girls basketball
coach. I grew up on the back of a horse, starting to ride around the age of
three and began competing in local horse shows when I was 10. From there
stemmed a passion for horses through my experiences in 4-H and FFA.
My
platform this year is entitled "Seize it" where I hope to encourage everyone
I meet this year to go out of their comfort zone and seize the opportunities
that come their way! Had I not done just that, I would not be the person I am
today.
I am
immensely grateful for this opportunity over the next year to travel across the
state and beyond serving South Dakota and rodeo! I can't wait to get to know
you all throughout my year!
