queen Celena Hefner
Howdy! My name is Celena Hefner. Born and raised on a ranch in Union, OR, I love riding horses and branding calves! I am the granddaughter of Jake Hefner, daughter of John and JoAnn Hefner, and little sister to Katelyn Hefner, 2007’s 100th anniversary EOLS queen.
I am currently a junior at Union High, and I am also the ASB secretary/treasurer of the school. I am extremely involved in FFA, and hold the office of Junior Advisor. I have shown market steers in both 4-H and FFA at the Stockshow. This year I will be showing my first market hog.
Also this year I will be proudly riding a good ol’ ranch broke 7 year-old sorrel gelding named Hughy. He was born and raised on our ranch and is a perfect all-around horse. I have been riding my entire life, and this year had the opportunity to ride into Red’s Horse Ranch in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. I enjoy hunting for quail, elk, and big bucks.
The Eastern Oregon Livestock Show has been a big part of my life. I’ve spent many Saturdays working on buildings and helping better the grounds. I am a 3rd generation Hefner, and with all my family working at EOLS, we have over 100 years of service between all of us. I am proud to be representing the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show and promoting the sport of rodeo. Hope to see ya’ll in June and remember: Small Town – Big Deal!

princess Audra Lyn Hoadley
Welcome everyone to the104th Eastern Oregon Livestock Show, the oldest show in the Northwest! My name is Audra Lyn Hoadley. I am 17 years old and a junior at La Grande High School. I live in La Grande, OR with my parents Allen and Traci Hoadley, and my younger sister Tani Hoadley.
I have been very active in Horse 4-H for the past 8 years, attending shows, leadership retreats, involved with the Union County state horse judging team, attending state fair, helping with younger members, fundraising, doing hours of community service, raising a colt training project and keeping an up to date record book. I’m part of the La Grande FFA chapter, where I am currently raising a sheep for Eastern Oregon Livestock Show. I also show in open shows with my horse through out the summer. Other clubs I am apart of along with my family are the La Grande Mavericks, and the Blue Mountain Back Country Riders.
On February 6, 2006 I was blessed with a 4 year old black and white tobiano paint mare name Star Dashing, Dash for short. Together we have trained to be competitive in the show ring, attending many clinics to improve our show ring skills, my riding skills and further her training. Together we have enjoyed many hours on the trail, carrying sponsor flags as well as the American flag at the Elgin Stampede, and together this year we are proud to represent the 104th Eastern Oregon Livestock Show.
I am so thankful for the chance to serve as a member of the 2011 Eastern Oregon Livestock Show. I would like to say thank you to my family, friends, the community members for all their support, the EOLS Board of Directors, A special thanks to our court mother Heidi Denton and all of the sponsors that make this event possible.
~Trophies and buckles collect dust, the memories, and friendships are what last forever!

princess Amie Hardenbrook
Hello rodeo fans! I am Amie Hardenbrook, daughter of Torry Hardenbrook and Cleona Cunningham. I am a 16 year old junior at Cove High School where I play basketball and volleyball as well as participate in FFA. I currently reside in Cove, Oregon with my mother Cleona. I have two siblings: Andy Hardenbrook, who is a 20 year old Marine and Tylar Hardenbrook, a 18 year old senior at Imbler High school. I was born in Rocksprings, Wyoming on July 27, 1994. I lived in Lyman, Wyoming until I was four years old, then moved to Summerville, Oregon.
My love for horses began when I moved here to Eastern Oregon. Since then, I have shown horses in 4-H for five years, rode in many parades, participated in the La Grande Maverick play days, went to numerous open shows, and have casually rode in the mountains and valley.
In FFA, I have held two Officer Positions and have shown a hog at the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show for two years. I also have participated in parliamentary procedures and livestock judging. I hope to receive my state degree next year as a senior and further my education in an agricultural direction.
My partner in crime is my black and white paint mare, Poker. Her registered name is: "Shez Gota Poker Face." I have had her for three years now and I have fallen in love with her. I don’t know what I would do without her! I am very excited and thankful to be able to ride her this year in many parades and rodeos as a member of the 2011 EOLS Royalty! I can’t wait to represent the “Oldest Show in the Northwest.”

princess Stephanie Greenhalgh
Hello rodeo fans! My name is Stephanie Greenhalgh and I am a proud member of the 2011 Eastern Oregon Livestock Show’s royal court! I am 15 and I live in Cove, Oregon with my parents Leann and Gordon Ollendorf and my brothers Travis, Michael and Tristan. I am attending La Grande High School as a freshman. I have proudly represented the Haines’ Stampede last year as their 2010 princess! I am still very close to Adora Luebberke the Haines Stampede’s 2010 Queen!
My mount this year is Anna Doc Bar or known as Annabell. She is a three year old tobiano paint mare. I haven’t had her very long but our bond came almost the second I saw her and will never be broken. I can honestly say that she has been the best horse I have owned so far and I am proud to own her!
It is an honor and privilege to represent the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show. I remember when my family first came to Eastern Oregon and I got my first taste of the amazing events that happen at The Eastern Oregon Livestock Show, ever since then I had dreamt about being a part of it. I’ve learned that a little hope and wishing can get you a long way.
I would like to thank my mother for her support and love and I also like to thank my brother and sisters for their support and I would like them to know that I love them. Finally I would like to thank the board and the court Celena, Amie and Audra for the opportunity that has been given to me. So let’s saddle up, hang on and LETS RODEO!!!
