Kickoff dinners are one of my favorite events. It’s the start of a new year for royalty programs and the official start of candidacy for many excited young ladies. On June 16th, the Inver Grove Heights Royalty attended the Kaposia Days Kickoff Dinner at the Clarion Hotel in South Saint Paul. It was exciting to learn more about the candidates and their sponsors. They are all wonderful ladies and we are very excited to see who will be representing South St. Paul as the 2016 Kaposia Days Royalty at their coronation on June 25th! I would also like to congratulate, Carol Swenson, who received the Nancy Fisch Spirit Award. The Spirit Award goes to a community member who has demonstrated outstanding community spirit and involvement. Carol Swenson, along with her husband, Dan, have been involved with community scholarship programs since the 1980’s. They even had a large role in starting the Miss Inver Grove Heights Scholarship Program. Carol is a current board member for the Miss IGH program as well as the Kaposia Days program. We are so proud of her and deeply appreciate her commitment to our community.
