On Saturday, June 22nd, my royal sisters and I took part in the Cottage Grove Strawberry Festival Grande Day Parade. Before the parade start, we enjoyed donuts with the Cottage Grove Strawberry Fest Ambassadors and candidates. We also talked with royalty from Woodbury, New Brighton, Hudson, Osceola, Minneapolis Aquatennial, St. Paul Winter Carnival, and Rice Street. The parade was fun and it was awesome to see the kids getting candy.

Rice Street Kick-Off Dinner
I attended the Rice Street Candidate Dinner on Wednesday. They had dinner, an introduction to the candidates with their sponsor, and a dessert auction! I really enjoyed seeing all the desserts and how much the candidates enjoyed making them.

On Saturday, June 8th, we participated in the Explore West St. Paul Days parade. Before the parade, we chatted with the St. Paul Vulcan Krewe and the Woodbury Royalty Ambassadors. It was a beautiful, sunny day for a parade! It was fun to see everyone while we waved on the float.

Candidate Information Session
Last week we got to meet our soon to be candidates. We introduced ourselves and then they learned about the program. After that we got to talk to the future candidates and learn some stuff about them. It was fun getting to meet and share our experiences with the candidates.

Weekend in Westby
On the weekend of May 18th & 19th, my royal sisters and I got the pleasure of going to Westby, Wisconsin for their Syttende Mai festival. This has been an annual tradition that was started about 14 years ago by Dan & Carol Swenson. It was such a great bonding experience for all of the royal girls and our families. Some fun things that we did included going Amish shopping, meeting other royalty, participating in the Syttende Mai parade, and trying new Norwegian foods. I had so much fun and cannot wait to go back next year.

Little Miss Service Project
Last fall and this winter I helped the Concord Education Center, in Inver Grove Heights, by collecting clothes and baskets for kids in need of clothing. Nurse Claire was in need of getting new clothes for the students there. We got a lot of donations from the community. Nurse Clarie created an Amazon Wish List for items she needed. My mom helped post it on Facebook and we got several donations. The managers from Walmart and the Dollar Tree donated bins to put the clothes in. Some of my friends and family helped donate and thank you to all of the people on Facebook and Discovery Charter School for helping. It was so fun going to the school and dropping off the clothes, which we did several times.

Woodbury Disco
On Sunday, my Royal sisters and I attended the Woodbury royalty disco party. We wore tie dye, feather boas, big glasses and had groovy dance moves. We participated in limbo and bubblegum blowing contests, made bracelets, grooved on the dance floor and chatted with other royalty. It was a super fun event!

Junior Miss Second Service Project
For my 2nd service project as Jr Miss of Inver Grove Heights, I collected books and tooth brushes to go to the Pediatric and Young Adult Medicine clinic. I made enough donations to cover all 3 of their clinics ! I did this because I want kids to have a good experience at the doctors and help them be less afraid of them and encourage reading and good dental care. I had lots of fun doing this and happy to bring smiles to so many kids!
