A Miss Rodeo Iowa competed at the 1956-1957 Miss Rodeo America Pageant at the International Dairy Show and Golden Spurs Championship Rodeo in Chicago in October of 1957. In 1964 a "Miss Rodeo Iowa", with the first name of Joanna, competed in the Miss Rodeo America Pageant held at the Sahara Hotel in November of 1964.
