On Sunday, November 17, 2019 my royal sisters and I went to see the grand opening of the IGH Fire Station #2. I was excited to see the new fire station because it is only 2 miles from my house. This will be a great addition to my neighborhood because we don’t have fire hydrants where I live. I learned that the IGH Fire Department has 2 tanker trucks to fight these types of fires. My favorite part of the day was the nooks and crannies tour with fire fighter Tony Kautz. It was neat to see the hose drying and training tower which is not only used to dry hoses from floor to ceiling, but also used to teach fire fighters how to enter confined spaces.

Service Project – Inver Grove Heights Princess
November 20, 2019 by
For my first service project as the 2020 Inver Grove Heights Princess, I decided that I wanted to make tie blankets for the adults and children that are at and will be at the Gillette’s Children’s Hospital. Over the span of a month I collected fleece donations and went out and bought fleece on my own to make these blankets. I would like to say a special thank you to Diane Rechtzigel and Debbie Heymans for their generous donations. I had to follow specific measurements to make these blankets so that they would be perfect for the patients receiving them. My mother and I spent time cutting and tying 15 blankets. It took quite a while but it definitely payed off and I am so excited that many people will be able to enjoy these blankets, I hope they make their stay a little more comfortable.

Boo Bash

My Royal Court and I went to Boo Bash. We got to interact with kids at the arts and crafts table. We got to work the bounce house and dance danced as well as played games with the kids on the dance floor. I got to see all of the cool costumes that the kids were wearing. This event was fun to interact with kids and see their creativity for Halloween. I wanted to thank everyone that put that event together.

St. Patrick’s Fall Festival
September 15, 2019 by
My royal family and I had the privilege of helping at the St. Patrick’s Fall Festival on September 15th. We volunteered to help with the carnival games, handed out prizes to kids, and even had the chance to judge the classic cars at the car show. I enjoyed spending my Sunday afternoon with the community and we look forward to a wonderful year full of many more events!

Thank you 2019 Royalty!

“How can I sum up in one word the 2019 royal court? Well, that is impossible. These five young women are fun, energetic, outgoing, courageous, and fun-loving. It has been a joy watching a quiet, shy not outspoken girl blossom into a young woman who can take on a room full of unfamiliar faces and hold herself with grace, poise, and dignity. We could have not asked for a better group of fine young women to represent our city and we should be proud of what they have accomplished this year. I know they will go on to continue to grow in their leadership skills as well as achieving whatever they set their minds to. Good luck in your future endeavors!”

Sponsor Visit
September 2, 2019 by
Sponsors are a big part of our program that allow it to keep running and that is why I am glad for my sponsor, Gertens. Without them I would not have been able to attend parades, go to kick off dinners, and go to other communities coronations. I want to give a big thank you to Gertens for being a wonderful sponsor and making my year a great one!
