2023-2024 Chaffee County Fair and Rodeo Royalty
Hello, my name is Cali Quintana and I am your 2023/2024 Chaffee County Fair and Rodeo Queen. I am a 16 year old junior at Salida High School and plan to go to Wyoming for Welding School. I love wakeboarding and surfing behind a boat in the summer when I’m not behind the ears of my horse.
Hi! My name is Payton Dodge, your 2023/2024 Chaffee County Fair & Rodeo Princess. I am nine years old and I was born and raised in Salida. The rodeo has always been in my heart, and I would like to see it continue for many years to come. I want to help in as many ways as I can to make this possible. I love my horses and chickens.
