Olivia Angelloz
Sidney, NE
Olivia is an Executive Administrative
Assistant for Cabela's in Sidney where she and her husband, Cy, currently
reside. In July of 2000, Cy brought Olivia to the state of Nebraska to work
for him in the Cabela's Outdoor Adventures department. However, they
soon realized they had a lot more in common than just their love of wildlife,
and set their wedding day for the opening day of dove season - September
1st, 2001.
Because her greatest passion is to educate the public about the important
role hunters play as stewards of nature, Olivia's platform is to promote
hunters as stewards of renewable wildlife resources. But she's not
just a talker, she is a huntress, hunting big game in countries such as:
Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Canada, and throughout
the lower 48.
She recently established the Nebraska Panhandle Safari Club International
Chapter where she currently serves as chapter president. She is also a
measurer for Boone & Crockett, Pope & Young, Rowland Ward, and a Master
Measurer for SCI. It goes without saying that she is involved
with the hunting industry in many capacities.
This adventurous worldwide huntress found herself competing for
the Mrs. Nebraska title because it gave her an opportunity to speak out on behalf
of the international hunter, as well as allow her to empower women to strive
for excellence through hard work, determination, eloquence, and grace.
As Olivia said in her voice-over for the state evening gown competition,
"Nebraska gives me the feeling of freedom, and familiarity; it is the
essence of family values, honesty, and hard work ethic. This is what
our forefathers intended our country to be like, and I could only be so
honored to represent Nebraska." Needless to say, she is a passionate
woman who stands strong to her convictions.
