EMMA LOLA
Meet Emma Maire and Lola Beams
Emma and Lola are both junior members of MMR
and both ride with Shawna Dahl. Emma began
riding with Shawna in July of 2016 and recently
competed in the Mariposa Rodeo Royalty contest
with her family’s Quarter Horse, Willow.
Lola began riding with Shawna in January of 2018
and also competed in the Mariposa Rodeo
Royalty contest with her family’s POA, Checkers.
Both girls had an amazing time in the Mariposa
Rodeo Royalty contest. You can read more about
it below!
Mariposa County Fair Rodeo Royalty submitted by Carol Suggs
The contestants had been working
hard from June through
Fair. Participating in a variety of clinics/
workshops and volunteering throughout
the community. Selling raffle and rodeo
tickets as well as advertising in our rodeo
program book.
Their competition day was August 10 and started with horsemanship in the morning, then personal interviews that afternoon, followed by their on-stage performances that evening at the family and sponsor appreciation dinner.
Then they had to wait...3 weeks!
Fair found them assisting staff at Friday family fun night, waving to the crowds during the parade on Saturday,
walking the fair participating in their own social Scavenger Hunt and then came the crowning before the rodeo on
Sunday. As folks were in the stands on September 1st, they were able to see the ladies come into the Gold Bowl
arena while Announcer Ted Dwyer read their biographies and presented the results of this years’ contest. (continued)

Our Royalty Committee is very blessed to have worked
with such wonderful families this program year. The
young ladies were very supportive of each other all the
way through the competition and we look forward to
an amazing program year!
It should be noted that in our brief history of doing this
since 2011 this is the first time that we have had a
double title holder in two divisions. Miss Victoria was
our Princess in program year 2013-2014 and now she
wears the crown as queen!
Thanks to the Mariposa Mountain Riders for always
being a sponsor of this competition. Your support
means a lot to us. The Mariposa Friends of
the Fairgrounds Foundation is dedicated to keeping the
fairgrounds doors open now and for future generations
to enjoy.

MERCED RIVER TRAIL REPORT By
Wendy Brown
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY On June 26, 2018 the Board of Supervisors authorized the Planning Department to submit an application to the National Parks
Service’s Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance program. This application was successful.
On October 23, 2018, the Board of Supervisors received an update from the Planning Director on progress related to the
Merced River Trail, and a resolution was requested. I attended this meeting and gave public input on the importance of
including pack and saddle stock on this “multi-use” trail. I explained that I am familiar with this trail and have often thought that
it would be ideal for a number of recreational opportunities. On July 9, 2019 the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a
resolution establishing the “Merced River Trail Community Working Group” to provide technical expertise and guidance on the
development of the Merced River Trail Master Plan. This committee will consist of nine members from the following groups in
Mariposa County.
• BLM
• Yosemite National Park
• US Forest Service
• Merced Irrigation District
• Upper Merced River Watershed Council
• Sierra Foothill Conservancy
• Creative Placemaking Strategy Advisory Committee
• Historic Sites & Records Preservation Commission
• Representatives of other organizations and the general public, including trail advocates and outdoor recreation enthusiasts.
I attended the MMR’s July meeting, and asked if the Board would write a letter of support for the Merced River Trail and the Community Working Group, and recommend that I serve on this committee, which they agreed to do. I then submitted an application to serve on this committee. On July 13th Mary Darlene Theodore and I attended the Sierra Freepackers meeting and gave a report. They also agreed to write a letter of support.
On August 22nd I received an e-mail from the Mariposa County Planning Dept. that said I had been recommended to serve on
the Merced River Trail Community Working Group. The next step is for the Board of Supervisors to confirm my position on the
Committee. This was done on September 10th. So now it is official, and we will be having our first meeting on October 24th.
Thank you for your support. I look forward to working on this committee to ensure that our public lands remain open to
recreational stock use.
