 Living a stones throw from the Sedro-Woolley Riding Club Carolyn Hunter is the 2010 Sedro-Woolley Fourth of July Rodeo Queen. Carolyn is the 19 year old daughter of Christine and the late David Hunter. The youngest of three rodeo queen girls, she grew up around the rodeo and cannot remember a time where she wasn’t selling pop with here dad, buttering buns in the concession stand, carrying sponsor flags or riding her lifelong friend Cricket around the barrels. Carolyn has been a member of the riding club for 19 years and attended her first rodeo when she was only two weeks old and has never missed one since. Before Carolyn had even learned to walk, she was riding horses and has not stopped since then. Carolyn gained all of her horsemanship skills from 4-H where she was a member of the Boots and Buckles 4-H club for 13 years. In 4-H Carolyn has shown performance, where she was the 2009 Senior Reserve High Point, as well as Western Games and was on both state teams. Carolyn also showed cats for 13 years and was on the State Horse Bowl Team for seven. Currently, she has started training to become a 4-H leader to continue helping the young adults in her community. Graduating in 2008 from Sedro-Woolley High School Carolyn is currently pursuing her hopes of becoming a high school science teacher at Skagit Valley College and intends to transfer to Western Washington University. While in high school Carolyn was very involved in her FFA chapter and was a top ten candidate for the 2009 Washington State FFA Officer Team. Inside the rodeo arena Carolyn reigned as the 2009 Miss Teen Rodeo Washington and plans on competing for Miss Rodeo Washington. Carolyn enjoys riding English and western performance as well as pushing cows in the arena. Rodeo and horses are not everything in Carolyn’s life. She greatly enjoys reading any book she can find, listening to music of any type, hanging out with friends, cake decorating, and cooking new recipes.

Andrea Iversen

I am Andrea Iversen the daughter of Eric and Leah Iversen of Sedro Woolley. I am a junior at Sedro Woolley High School with a 3.97 GPA and taking rigorous AP classes. At school I am member of National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Yearbook and also on the swim, girls wrestling, and tennis teams. I have been president of Spanish Club and a tennis captain. An accomplishment I am proud of is being a two time state placer on the Sedro Woolley Girls Wrestling Team and a part of a team that has been awarded Academic and Mat Classic State Champions for the past two years. Before wrestling, I was involved in gymnastics where I competed at a state level. I have been involved in 4-H for seven years and am currently the President of Trailblazers 4-H Club. I was 2007 Skagit County Fair Grand Champion in western games and have competed numerous times at Puyallup State Fair. A highlight of my childhood was riding my pony alongside my grandma's horse in the 4th of July Parade. I loved waving to the crowd and pretending that someday I would be that rodeo queen in the front representing the Sedro Woolley Riding Club. For the past six years I have enjoyed carrying a sponsor flag for the riding club, in the parade and rodeo. I have done a variety of volunteering. Closest to my heart is working with the elderly and helping at Steelclaw Wrestling Tournaments. For enjoyment I horseback ride, fish, hike, camp, and spend time with family and friends. I am thankful for my supportive grandparents who have put me on a horse before I was even capable of walking. After graduation I plan on attending the UW and major in the medical field.
