Brittany Howard is used to being mistaken for one of the bachelorettes from the popular TV show, but in reality, she is a rodeo queen. More specifically, Howard is the 2017 Miss Rodeo USA. The glittering crown nestled against the brim of her cowboy hat, the big, shiny belt buckle, the boots, the jeans, the Western shirt and chunky Southwestern jewelry may appear as a costume to some, but for her, it is everyday attire - as long as she is representing rodeo, promoting the sport and educating people along the way. She is in Statesboro this week to promote the Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo, which will be held Friday and Saturday night at the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds.
