The competition started in 1949, ten years after the 1st stock show. The competition is called “Cover Girl” because the winner is featured on the following year’s program magazine. 

During her reign, the Cover Girl and her Court will participate in parades, fundraising events and TV and radio interviews to promote the show. They will also work every day at the show passing out awards and representing The Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show & Rodeo.
