Dani Brownell Patty - Queen Attendant 

Dani is passionate about her role as Queen Attendant because she loves the sport of rodeo and she loves kids. Combine the two and it's a recipe for a great Thursday night in Carbondale! Dani is 14 and was born and raised in the Roaring Fork Valley. She recently graduated from 8th grade at the Carbondale Community School. 

Dani is a girl with two main passions: 1) going fast on skis and 2) going fast on horses! Dani has the prestigious honor of winning the Junior Olympics in alpine ski racing for the past two years. She has also been barrel racing at rodeos since she was four years old. She is currently barrel racing on "LaRue", a seventeen year old horse that Dani's mom trained to do barrels. Watch them fly in the barrel race!
