Today, I visited Tim at Drkula’s, my sponsor. I told him about the upcoming events we have for this summer. I talked about the Westby weekend.
We talked about the Cottage Grove parade and Dew Days this weekend. I told him I might be doing a spaghetti eating contest at Pepperfest. I thanked him for his sponsorship and support of or program. I let him know how much fun I am having and the friendships I have made with my royal sisters. I am lucky to have such a nice sponsor.
Our royal family had the privilege to travel to Westby Wisconsin for their hometown festival Syttende Mai. The weekend was filled with so many fun things, we got to watch the kiddie parade where the children were all dressed up in their Norwegian costumes, we got to see the beautiful rosemaling, wood working, and we ate some of the traditional treats like rommegrot (it was surprisingly delicious you can look up the recipe and you will see why I was surprised). One of my favorite parts of the trip was the Amish shopping. Dan and Carol Swenson were our tour guides as we drove through the country visiting the different Amish shops, the assortment of flowers, bakery goods, and spices to purchase were great. On the last day of the weekend we got to visit with several different royalty groups and to top the weekend off we attended their parade. Thanks for the great time!

On May 15, 2018, my royal sisters and I attended the new candidate information session at the Inver Glen Library. We first introduced ourselves and then the new upcoming candidates introduced themselves. We shared with the group what our favorite events have been so far and talked about the service projects we have done. Stephanie talked about the parades and all the events that the girls may participate in during the candidacy. Two of the potential candidates are friends from my school. It was fun to see them there and I can’t wait to see if they are crowned. I remember back to when I was an upcoming candidate and how excited, but nervous I was. It was a nice evening to share with my royal sisters and the girls who came to the meeting.

May Day 5k, May 5th, 2018
On May 5th, the Inver Grove Heights Royal Court attended the 20th Annual May Day 5K. It was a very nice day for a run, or for many, a walk! Before the race we socialized and took pictures. Then we got to cheer on the racers and hand them water bottles as they crossed the finish line. After everyone came back they got to enjoy hot dogs, which were cooked by the American Legion! Once everyone had calmed down after the race, the girls and I held a hula hoop contest! Good thing I was not participating because I am definitely not good at it! The May Day 5K was so fun. We are so glad we got to spend the day with our community. Congratulations to all the racers!

As Junior Miss I am responsible for completing two service projects. For my second service project I made Easter goody bags for the kids at Gillette Childrens Hospital. Thank you to my family, friends, Greg Kuntz, and Dan and Carol Swenson without their help this project would not have been so successful. I delivered the bags at the end of March so that the kids that would be staying at the hospital over Easter would have something to brighten their day and make them feel special. I am going to continue bringing gifts throughout my reign and many more years to come. I love working with children so much ,even though I did not get to work with them directly ,knowing that they would receive these bags made me very happy!

On the evening of April 21st Grace and I attended the West Saint Paul Kick off dinner. We got to socialize with the current West Saint Paul Royalty, along with many other visiting royalty, as well as a few members of the community. Some the community member were presented with awards and there was a live dessert auction. Grace and I had a great time at the event but, it was bitter sweet since they will not have royalty for the upcoming year.

On the afternoon of April 21st Felicia, Grace, and I attended the Good Samaritan luncheon. We
started off by greeting guests at the door and socializing. After everyone arrived we took our
seats and we were served a very delicious breakfast. We got to listen to one of Good Samaritan
board members talk about her experience with Good Samaritan. This was followed by a fashion
show in which family and friends of the Good Samaritan residents showcased clothing. Overall it
was a very fun and touching afternoon.
