McCullough uses her Miss Rodeo ….

McCullough uses her Miss Rodeo Montana title to increase the interest in American Sign Language. “I’ve interpreted at a few rodeos,” she said. “It gets people’s wheels going that maybe that’s something they want to try.”

She has been learning the sign language skill for eight years and continues to improve.

“The more minds I can connect with, the better chance they might try American Sign Language,” she explained. “I will forever be learning the language.”

She urges people to attempt American Sign Language. She doesn’t feel that it’s that difficult to learn.

“I picked it up pretty easily,” she said. “But I do believe it’s a gift given to me by the Lord.”
