On Feb. 19, 2026, Choctaw tribal member Adelynn Lane won the title of Miss Ripon.
The competition is a longstanding tradition in the small town of Ripon, California, and aims to build the confidence of young women and introduce them to the professional world. Lane competed in five events: a public speech, private interview with judges, timed essay, fashion show and selling raffle tickets.
Since winning, she has attended community events such as ribbon cuttings and the Memorial Day service.
