QUEEN’S CLOSET The royalty program is pleased to announce the Queen’s Closet a select inventory of new to gently used royalty attire. Since the royalty program is the face of the Evergreen Rodeo having a wardrobe that complements the girls and the program is essential. Royalty apparel can be costly especially for clothing that may only be worn by the title holder for a season. While the girls do provide some of their own items, the queen’s closet was started to offer an additional inventory of items that can remain in the program and worn year to year. Each year a few new clothing pieces are purchased and custom made and added to the inventory to complement the current queen and princess and to support their contribution to the program. Chaps, sashes, crown and tiara are also among the items in the program inventory.
