Brittany Doyle is no stranger to the rodeo queening industry, growing up in a rural farming community she grew up showing ApHC in the all-around events and received multiple international high point championships and two world top ten placing before the age of 18. In 2018 she won her first rodeo queen title, moose mountain pro rodeo queen and travelled to compete for the title of Miss Rodeo Canada. After competing Brittany moved to a small mountain town in Alberta Canada and began her career as an ER nurse. Brittany started roping and began to compete in breakaway roping during her time in the Canadian Rockies before moving to New York to work as an ER travel nurse. Brittany travelled all over the state working in different hospitals where she decided to throw her hat back in the queening world and luckily won the title of Miss First Frontier Circuit 2023. Brittany then spent two years travelling around the PRCA circuits representing the northeast. After handing down her crown in January of 2025, she was given the exciting opportunity to be Miss rodeo New York 2025. Brittany travelled over 30,000 miles in 2025 and is excited to be back 'home' for the first frontier circuit finals.

My name is Julie Thomas Walsh. I am the co-owner and operator of Thomas Brothers Western Outfitters. We've been on the rodeo road for almost 30 years. It's been a pleasure to get to know the rodeo spectators, but to also have a great relationship with the contestants and committees of all the rodeos and events we've done over the years. We strive to stay at the forefront of Western style and trends, and I appreciate all of my customers that bring me their hats to keep up to date and in style. 

On a personal note, horses and the equestrian world have always been a part of my life and I still continue to show and compete as much as I can.
