2019 Winter Carnival Torchlight Parade

February 5, 2019 by

This parade was truly a spectacular event! For my first time ever, I attended the Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade and it made the whole celebration of Winter Carnival even more fun! Tessa and I rode on the West Wind float with our dearest Stephanie Sutton, who was a West Wind Princess in 2004. Before the parade started we got to mingle around with the visiting royalty and it was so nice to see some of the girls I met at Queen’s weekend, like the girls from New Brighton, Woodbury, South St. Paul, and Cottage Grove. Of course the Rice Street ladies were there as well, and it’s always a great time when they’re around. Overall it was a lot warmer than last weekend so that really made it easy to keep our smiles on, since our cheeks weren’t numb this time. We love the West Winds, and wouldn’t have wanted to ride with anyone else, YEE HAW!!!

2019 Winter Carnival Candidate Dinner

January 20, 2019 by

On January 10th, 2019, Tessa and I attended the candidate dinner for the St. Paul Winter Carnival Royalty. It was so amazing to get to know all the candidates, and the food was so delicious! It was also nice to see Tim, our own MC for our coronation. I love the humor he always brings to the stage. All these beautiful ladies deserve a spot on the Royalty. I’m excited to see who gets crowned!

Jr Miss Second Service Project

January 13, 2019 by

During the month of November, I collected books for the Concord Education Center. This is a new school in the area and they did not have many books for their library. I had help from my sister-in-law, Linda, and together we reached out to multiple people and businesses to see if they would be willing to help out the school. In total more than 1,300 books were donated to the school.  Thank you so much to the community of Inver Grove Heights for donating to the book drive. Thank you to the people at my moms work for donating books and thank you to the Friends of the Inver Glenn Library, Midway Used and Rare Books, and Red Balloon Bookshop.

Cub Foods Bagging

December 25, 2018 by

On 12-22-18 we bagged groceries at cub foods as a fundraiser for our  program. We bagged from 10-4 at the Cub Foods on Cahill Ave.  Some of the past royalty helped too. It was a fun way to bond with my royal sisters and get to know some of the other girls that had been crowned while socializing with the customers.

Clouds Choir

December 19, 2018 by

On Friday December 14, 2018 my royal sisters and I went to the Clouds Choir.  It was a very emotional time but we had so much fun singing, giggling and talking to the community. I’m so glad that me and my royal sisters had that privilege to go to the Clouds Choir for Zach Sobiech. It was fun visiting with other royal courts.
