Originally, married women could compete in the rodeo queen pageants of the 1950's. Audrey Hall was crowned the "North Dakota Rodeo Queen" in Dickinson in 1954, a title that would eventually become Miss Rodeo North Dakota. Vonny was the first Miss Rodeo North Dakota, and only married woman to be the rodeo queen.
