The Evergreen Rodeo Royalty consists of our Queen, Princess and Jr. Princess. They are our official ambassadors for the Evergreen Rodeo Association. They recognize the importance of educating, promoting and preserving our Rodeo and the western heritage. The Evergreen Rodeo Royalty represents our community with the highest level of integrity and professionalism.

This Royalty Program runs from June through the following June, starting with our own parade and PRCA Rodeo Father’s Day Weekend. During their reign, the ladies attend various functions and activities throughout the state of Colorado. They volunteer hundreds of hours to help promote our community and rodeos, including the National Western Stock Show.

Olivia Zuber

My name is Olivia Zuber, and I am incredibly honored to serve as Miss Evergreen Rodeo 2027. At 19 years old, I have been blessed to call the beautiful mountains of Colorado home my entire life. Growing up in a small mountain community has instilled in me the values of faith, hard work, integrity, and service. The western way of life has shaped who I am, and I am proud to represent the traditions and heritage that make Evergreen Rodeo so special.

Agriculture has always been a central part of my life. As a dedicated 4-H member, I have spent years raising and exhibiting cattle, lambs, goats, and hogs. Through these experiences, I have gained a deep appreciation for the livestock industry while learning responsibility, perseverance, leadership, and sportsmanship. The lessons I have learned in the show ring and around the barn have prepared me to be a strong advocate for agriculture and the western lifestyle.

It has been an incredible privilege to represent the Evergreen Rodeo Association throughout 2026, and I am excited to continue serving as Miss Evergreen Rodeo 2027. Evergreen Rodeo has always held a special place in my heart because of its rich history, welcoming community, and commitment to preserving western traditions. I am honored to continue representing an organization that means so much to me.

This fall, I will attend Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs to pursue a degree in Communications before transferring to Colorado State University to earn a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Communications. My goal is to use my education to bridge the gap between agriculture and the public by educating others about our industry and sharing the stories of the hardworking families who help feed our communities.

Throughout my reign, my platform is Youth Involvement in Agriculture. I believe programs like 4-H and FFA are essential in developing future leaders while teaching responsibility, confidence, and a strong work ethic. These organizations help preserve the traditions of agriculture and rodeo, and I hope to inspire more young people to become involved and discover the same opportunities that have shaped my life.

Serving as Miss Evergreen Rodeo is more than wearing a crown—it’s an opportunity to promote rodeo, educate others about agriculture, and serve my community. I am grateful for the support of my family, sponsors, and the Evergreen Rodeo Association, and I look forward to representing Evergreen with pride throughout my reign.

Long Live Evergreen Rodeo.

Aralilia McNicholas

Hello I’m Aralilia McNicholas, a proud rodeo princess, farm girl, and horse lover from Denver, Colorado, where family, faith, and the cowgirl spirit guide everything I do.

I live on a small farm with my family and a wide variety of animals, but none dearer than Patina, my 12-year-old American Quarter Horse mare. Whether we're carrying the flag, racing barrels, or riding the trails, she's my trusted partner and best friend.

When I'm not in the saddle, I enjoy archery, painting, and exploring the outdoors on my four-wheeler. I also love giving back through McNicholas Miniatures, my family's therapy horse program that brings joy to folks in schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. At school, I'm honored to serve as a student ambassador, welcoming new students and lending a hand at special events.

Whether in boots or books, I try to lead with kindness and give my best to everything I do.

Being crowned the 2027 Evergreen Rodeo Princess is an incredible honor. I'm proud to represent the sport I love and the people and values I hold close to my heart. Thank you for your support!

Kaidan Watters

Hi everyone! My name is Kaidan Watters, and I am so excited and incredibly proud to be the 2027 Evergreen Rodeo Junior Princess!

I’m a sixth grader at Colorado Academy and I love being active every day. I play soccer and volleyball, and I’m an active member in Jefferson County 4-H where I get to work with my horses, Turkey and Jack. Barrel racing is my favorite—I love the speed and the feeling of flying around the pattern with them. Whether I’m riding, playing sports, or just being outside with all my animals, that’s where I’m happiest.

I also enjoy volunteering in my church nursery because I love helping take care of the little kids. I believe it’s really important for my generation to preserve the history, traditions, and spirit of the West. In a world where technology can be such a big distraction, I think staying connected to the land, our animals, and our community helps us remember what really matters—creation and each other.

I’m so honored to represent the Evergreen Rodeo this year. It means the world to me to serve as Junior Princess and help share our special traditions with everyone. I can’t wait to celebrate the Western heritage that makes our community so special!

Thank you for this opportunity—let’s have a great rodeo season!
