2021-2022 Williams Lake Stampede Royalty
2021/2022 Williams Lake Stampede Queen
Karena Sokolan, Miss Peterson Contracting Ltd.
My name is Karena Sokolan, and I am Miss Peterson Contracting Ltd. I am 19 years old and was raised in Williams Lake. I have been blessed to live the Cariboo lifestyle! On my family acreage I grew up riding horses, raising 4-H beef, fishing, hiking, quadding, and skating. Through my years in 4-H, LCSS Environmental Club, and various sports I have been able experience many opportunities in Williams Lake and its surrounding areas. I spent 12 years in 4-H with the Chimney Valley 4-H Club and have raised 8 market steer projects and 1 market lamb. In my first years of 4-H I spent three years in Clover buds until I was old enough to have my own project. I was a passionate 4-H member and managed to win Reserve Grand Champion Market steer, Runner Up Market Steer, and Grand Champion Market Lamb through my years. In high school I was a member of the LCSS environmental club, the Greenologists, and our club began a composting system in the high schools of Williams Lake. I played three years on the Williams Lake Timberwolves Female Rep Team and was thankful to represent this city through the sport of hockey. I strive to educate and support members of our community about the beautiful land we live on and encourage everyone to reach their goals and take the opportunities this city has to offer.
My love for horses and the industry drove me to apply at Olds College, AB for the Equine Science Program. In this program you learn the anatomy and ideal conformation of the horse, treatments for disease and rehab therapy, colt starting, begin to train young horses, and train to become a certified Equine Instructor. I was also able to bring my own horse, Whiskey, to college with me to be my partner in training this year. Thus, my passion and knowledge of horses and rodeo has grown through my time in this college, and I want to continue to help people follow their passions wherever they may lead them as I did with mine. I wish to continue to participate and support the horse and rodeo industry in the City of Williams Lake and hope I can encourage more people to join this amazing community.
I want to thank my parents for constantly supporting me and raising me in this beautiful area. Thank you to Kathy and Wayne Peterson from Peterson Contracting Ltd. for sponsoring me this year and giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Williams Lake Stampede Royalty Program. I am very grateful to be a part of this community and hope to be a great representative for this program and the City of Williams Lake.
