2025 Rodeo court

The Philomath Frolic & Rodeo Court serves as ambassadors of the rodeo and the entire Philomath community as they travel throughout the Northwest promoting our heritage, rodeo and the western way of life. The Court's term is from January 1st through December 31st, and the next year’s court is selected at tryouts during the Philomath Frolic and Rodeo weekend. 

Sponsor the Queen

       The Philomath Frolic & Rodeo has an amazing sponsorship program, and our Queen program will be expanding on that. We are recruiting sponsors for the Queen program, which is a collaboration with, yet separate from, sponsoring the Frolic & Rodeo. We have our own set of sponsor benefits and sponsorship levels. We recognize that there are some sponsors who would like other options and to be able to sponsor in a different way and this is the opportunity. Thank you to our current 2025 sponsors for helping us kickstart our sponsorship program. We can't wait to see you at the Philomath Frolic & Rodeo, 2nd full weekend in July!

Hallie Olsen 
is your 2026 Philomath Frolic & Rodeo Queen.  

The day has finally come…
I have waited for what feels like forever for this moment. My name is Hallie, and I am your 2026 Philomath Frolic & Rodeo Queen . I am 19 years old, and this role means the world to me because it has truly been my dream for as long as I can remember. Representing this rodeo and this community is something I’ve always carried in my heart, and I feel beyond grateful for the opportunity to live it out.
By my side this year is my horse Piper, a beautiful bay roan who is learning and growing with me as we get ready for the rodeo world together. Watching her progress and being on this journey with her makes every part of this experience even more special.
My goal for this year is simple but powerful: to make our community proud and to always be a helping hand to anyone in need. I want to show up with kindness, dedication, and heart in everything I do. Most of all, I can’t wait to connect with the younger generation, especially the little girls and remind them that they can do it too. Big dreams belong to them just as much as they once belonged to me.
I am so excited for the year ahead and honored to represent this amazing community.
Officially signing on,
Hallie
2026 Miss Philomath Frolic & Rodeo

Ashlyn Terry 
is your 2026 Philomath Frolic & Rodeo Princess. 

My name is Ashlyn Terry, and I am truly honored to serve as the 2026 Philomath Frolic & Rodeo Princess. Having lived in Philomath my entire life, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to represent the community that has played such an important role in shaping who I am today. Being part of the Philomath Frolic & Rodeo is more than a title to me—it is a lifelong dream and a meaningful way to give back to the small town I proudly call home.
From a young age, I looked up to the rodeo queens and princesses, admiring their dedication, confidence, and passion for both the sport and their communities. Those role models inspired me to set this goal for myself, and this year I hope to serve as a positive example for future princesses by demonstrating responsibility, sportsmanship, and kindness. I want to encourage others to pursue their dreams, just as I have been encouraged throughout my life.
I am 13 years old and currently an 8th grader at Philomath Middle School. Horses have always been a significant part of my life, and I have been riding for as long as I can remember. This year, I am fortunate to have two wonderful horses by my side: Frank, my “do-anything” horse, and Sonny, who is new to me but brings valuable experience and knowledge to our partnership. I am excited to continue learning and growing alongside both of them throughout my year as princess.
I am thrilled to begin this adventure and to learn from the many incredible individuals involved in the rodeo community. I am especially excited to serve alongside Queen Hallie—I could not ask for a better partner or teammate as we head into the 2026 rodeo season.
I am truly looking forward to everything that 2026 has in store and am proud to represent the Philomath Frolic & Rodeo and the amazing community that supports it.
