Introducing our Miss Bristow.
My name is McKenzie Bohach, I am 2023 Miss Bristow. I live on a farm outside of Bristow where we raise many species of livestock. Some of the livestock we raise include rabbits, chickens, and goats which I show at the Butler County Fair. I am involved in 4H, FFA, Speech, and Social Studies club. I enjoy participating in competitions in FFA and Speech because I love public speaking. In my 4H club, Coldwater Dayton Busy Gophers, I am the vice president. I enjoy 4H because we do a lot of community service projects. I am also currently a waitress at Freeze Frame Bowl. Some other hobbies of mine are planting flowers, photography, and crochet but my favorite is tending to the animals. My future plans are to attend NIACC in the fall for their Agricultural Operations Management 2 year program. I am honored to be this years Miss Bristow, I am excited to represent the town through parades and other community activities!

We have had some questions about e-bikes on the bike trail. As of right now, we allow low-speed, electric bicycles on the trail. We ask that you follow all trail etiquette as any other bicycle.
Also keep an eye out for new etiquette signs, which will be placed along the trail this spring thanks to a grant from the Cedar Valley Trails Partnership.
