Sofia Foss

2025 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Princess

Hello Everyone! My name is Sofia Foss and I am the 2025 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Princess! As a freshman in high school I am 15 years old and have lived in Douglas County since I was just 5 years old, having moved here from a small beach town in Florida. Being the youngest of four, I have one older sister and two older brothers. My sister, Stefanee and I have both been involved in the royalty program in the past by holding titles in 2022 and 2024, and now 2025. My two amazing dogs, Winter and Ruger, keep me busy as well. I also participate in 4-H here in Douglas County where I have previously been involved in Photography, Cake Decorating, Market Lambs, Market Goats, Horse, and .22 Rifle. This year I plan to compete at the 2025 Fair in Western Heritage Shooting and Archery.

My interest in horses started when my sister began riding at a barn down the street from my house. My mom also grew up on an Arabian Horse Ranch in Northern California. We then moved to Colorado and I decided that this was my passion and I have not looked back since! When I’m not at the barn with my horse, Annie, I can be found practicing breakaway roping or sharpening my golf skills. I don’t know exactly where I want to attend university, but I do have an idea of what I want to do for a career; I’m planning on majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Media and Musical Production.

I am looking forward to meeting you at the 2025 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo, July 25-August 3!

Addison Staninger

2025 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Princess Attendant

My name is Addison Staninger and I am 14 years old and a freshman in high school. What an honor and privilege it is to be the 2025 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Princess Attendant! When I am not studying for school, riding, or volunteering at my church, you will find me running. As an active 4-H member for 6 years I’ve participated in numerous projects such as 4-H Horse, Miniature Horse, and Shooting Sports. I have grown up around horses since I was 5 years old and am a 4th generation equestrian with a passion for horses that is almost unexplainable. Being able to ride horses hasn’t always come easily. There have been times where I doubted the Lord and did not trust Him, but He has shown his faithfulness to me throughout the years, providing horses for me to ride, while giving me opportunities to grow in my faith and patience. Every year God has moved mountains for me to be able to ride; He has blessed me with a wonderful family who supports me whether it is at a horse show at the Douglas County Fair Grounds, or a cross country meet in Colorado Springs. I am very excited to encourage others and remind them that no matter their circumstance the Lord loves them, and He works all things out for their good. My hope is to encourage others to chase their dreams small or large, and to trust in the Lord.

Come enjoy a legacy at the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo that once you experience, you won’t forget. I hope to see many of you sipping country lemonade, watching our Remuda Award Winning PRCA rodeos, and experiencing many other thrilling events. If you see me at our Douglas County Fair & Rodeo please come by and say hi!
