2026 KLICKITAT COUNTY FAIR & RODEO QUEEN MISS JAYLEE PHILLIPS

Hello, my name is Jaylee Phillips, and I am your 2026 Klickitat County Fair and Rodeo Queen. I am currently a junior at Kamiakin High School and attend Columbia Basin College through the Running Start program. I am the youngest and only girl of three siblings and the daughter of Kevan and Kellie Phillips.

I compete in barrel racing and am new to breakaway roping. I am also an active member of FFA, where I show pigs. My accomplishments include Grand Champion Market and Showmanship at the Columbia Basin Junior Livestock Show, as well as Reserve Champion Market and Showmanship at the Benton Franklin Fair and Rodeo.

After high school, I plan to pursue a career in nursing, with hopes of working in the ER or ICU, and eventually becoming a flight nurse, while continuing to follow my passion for horses.

I had the honor of serving as the 2025 Alder Creek Pioneer Rodeo and Picnic Queen, where I spent the year traveling, meeting new people, and proudly representing the rodeo, and amazing community, and the western way of life. I look forward to continuing that tradition and representing the Klickitat County Fair and Rodeo in 2026.

NPRA Rodeo is on Saturday at 12:30pm and Sunday at 1pm. Come see me in the Downtown Parade on Saturday at 10am!
