Otero County Fair and Rodeo Queen

Hi friends!

My name is Erica Yvette Garcia, and I’m so excited (and incredibly honored) to officially introduce myself as the New Mexico State Media Ambassador for The Foundation for Western Professionals!

I’m proudly from Belen, New Mexico, and I’m currently a student at New Mexico State University, where I study Agricultural Economics. Agriculture and the western way of life have shaped who I am — from the show ring and rodeo arena to leadership programs and advocacy work across our state.

I’ve had the privilege of serving as the 2023 National Runner-Up Miss Agriculture USA, New Mexico Miss Agriculture USA, 2018 New Mexico Cowbells Beef Ambassador, and I currently serve as the 2026 Bosque Farms Rodeo Queen. Each of these roles has fueled my passion for representing agriculture, leadership, and the people who keep our industry strong.

Through this ambassador role, I’ll help share stories about western professionals, agriculture, and leadership — all while proudly representing New Mexico and the values we hold dear.

I’m beyond grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to get to work serving New Mexico and the western community I love so much.

Want to learn more about the Foundation or collaborate? I’d love to connect — e.garcia@tffwp.org

Help Bring Warmth to Our Seniors This Christmas Eve

The Otero County Fair Association is hosting its annual Blanket Drive to support the elderly in Otero County. This year, our hardworking Fair and Rodeo Queen Court will personally wrap and distribute the blankets on Christmas Eve, bringing holiday cheer and warmth to those who need it most.

We are currently short by approximately 200 blankets. If we don’t reach our goal, some nursing home patients in our community won’t receive a blanket this winter.

How you can help:
Donate new, warm blankets.
Monetary donations to purchase blankets are deeply appreciated.
Share this post to help spread the word.

If you’d like to donate, please comment below or send a private message to coordinate pickup or drop-off details. You can also mail donations to:

Thank you for helping us wrap our seniors in warmth and care this Christmas Eve. Your generosity makes a difference in our community.
