Ariana White and Cheyenne Benfield are competing for Freedom Rodeo Princess; Graci Guillen and Tiffany Weber are competing for Freedom Rodeo Queen. These girls will be pounding the pavement and knocking on doors to sell tickets for the 81st Freedom Rodeo and Old Cowboy Reunion on Aug. 16-18. Advance tickets sold by these contestants cost $8 for adults and $4 for children 6 to 12 years old. Children 5 and under are free. Selling tickets are just one part of the competition. They will also be judged for their riding ability, interviewing skills and appearance.
