Little Miss Sponsor Visit

On Monday, December 20th, I went to Drkula’s Bowl to see my sponsor Tim Drkula.  We talked about how for the first time in 59 years they were closing on Christmas day.  We also talked about how he was working a double shift that day.  As a thank you, I brought him a cookie tower. He really liked it a lot!  After that, I took a picture with Tim. I am so thankful that Drkula’s is my sponsor.

Skate with Santa

I was excited to participate in the Skate with Santa event with Alyssa, Lily, and Ella.

We were able to help by setting up the event.

Then for a little time, I helped give people skates.

Alyssa and I were able to skate with Santa and were treated to cookies and hot cocoa.

At the end of the night, we handed out treat bags as a thank you for coming to all the participants.

This was a great event!

First Service Project for Miss IGH

For my first service project, I raised money throughout the month of November for the Walk to End Hunger as a part of No Hunger November. Then I completed the fundraiser by doing the actual walk. I got to talk with some of the other people who were also doing the walk get to know them a bit as well which was really fun. I was blown away by the amount of support I received doing this project. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped me achieve my goal, it means a lot to me, and to everyone, it helps as well.

Santa

On Saturday, December 11 we helped at the North Pole morning with Santa. We helped set up, ran a few activities such as the bouncy house, cheese decorating, and the can-can knockdown game. We took some awesome pictures and enjoyed spending time helping the Parks and Rec. All the kids enjoyed a great morning with Santa despite the large amounts of snow !

Holiday shopping

On Sunday, December 5th we woke up super early to go to West St. Paul’s Thompson County Park to help with Holiday Shopping.  For this event, we got stationed at a table to wrap presents for kids who went shopping for their families, friends, and pets. Each child purchased tickets which allowed them to choose gifts in their price range for their families. It was amazing to see all of the kids with smiles on their faces as they picked out presents.  It was such a good turnout and it was so much fun!

Little Miss Service Project

For my first service project, I collected magazines to donate to the White Pines Memory Care facility.  I spent over three hours collecting 437 magazines from various residents and businesses here in Inver Grove Heights. It was really fun to collect, sort, and then deliver the magazines to the facility.  The residents will use them for various projects and activities.  We delivered so many that they were able to share with another facility outside of Inver Grove.  The support of our community is absolutely amazing!

Fundraiser

On Sunday November 21, the Inver Grove Heights Scholarship Program had one of our fundraisers. It was quite the surprise when we saw that the New Brighton Ambassadors and a Woodbury Ambassador came to the auction. Throughout the auction, we got to talk to so many people and we even got to see some past members of our royal family as well. We had a great time throughout the event and we are incredibly thankful for the support of our community.

Cambridge Snowflake Parade

On Saturday, November 20th my royal family and I were lucky to be invited to participate in the Cambridge Lighted Snowflake Parade.  We started the day with a social and meeting the other royalties. Everyone looked so festive in their Christmas gear. We got to visit Santa and tell him our Christmas list. We decorated the float with lots of Christmas lights and it was so festive.  The Parade takes place at night and all the floats have to be lit up. After the parade, we all ate chili. It was such a great time. THANK YOU to Cambridge for letting us join in their amazing event.

This organization gives people with special needs the same opportunities to represent their communities. We got to meet some amazing people and we were able to create some amazing memories. This event will last a lifetime. It made my heart full to see all the smiles and sparkles.

Dog Pawty

My royal family and I had the pleasure of volunteering with Inver Grove Heights Parks and Recreation at the Let’s Paw-ty: Halloween Dog Park Event. We had such a pawsitive time. This was the first time this event had ever happened and it was a HUGE success. There was a costume contest, there were lots of dogs dressed as bumblebees. My favorite was Taco the Taco, but the family of Star Wars was so fun too. There was a kissing booth, a bounce house, and a place to decorate bandanas for your dog. Thank you Inver Grove Heights Parks and Recreation for letting us attend your event.
