2018 Special Olympic Luau

August 16, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

Our royal family of the Miss Inver Grove Heights scholarship program went and volunteered for the Special Olympics Lau. The event was held at the VFW in South St. Paul. The new candidates were also there that are running for the Miss IGH program. Together we helped serve food, great guests and danced with all the guests. We really had a fun time with all the athletes present at this event. We all had so much fun and bonded with the athletes, candidates and family members that were there. I really enjoyed this event with all the celebration and would enjoy helping again.

Thank You,

2018 Common Sense with Seniors

August 9, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

On Thursday, July 26th, my royal sisters and I attended the Common Sense Seniors fishing trip with this year’s Miss IGH candidates. There were a few extra poles so some of the girls tried fishing. They caught a few fish, but most just stole the bait. It was a small turnout due to the weather, but it was still fun!

2018 Town Square Television

August 9, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

On Monday my royal sisters and I filmed a segment about our scholarship program with Town Square Television. In our portion of the programming, we talked about the history of our program, the candidacy process, and our goal of “making a difference in the lives of young women” by building our personal skills such as speaking, interviewing, and minding our image presentation, as well as teaching us the value of service to others. The candidates were also at the event, and had the opportunity to introduce themselves and talk a little bit about their interests and why they want to be a part of our program. It has been fun getting to know all of the candidates, and I’m excited to see what the rest of the year has in store!

2018 Jr Princess Service Project

August 9, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

For my second service project, I donated to the Animal Humane Society in Woodbury. I went door to door in my neighborhood to collect items from the AHS wish list. I collected eight bags full of old towels, blankets, Kleenex, paper towels, and pet food. My mom helped me get 1,200 newspapers from the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and the AHS employees were very excited to see them all! I am so glad to have helped the animals by donating to the AHS.

2018 Kaposia Days Coronation

July 11, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

On June 23rd, the Inver Grove Heights Royal Court attended the South St. Paul Kaposia Days Coronation. The theme for their coronation was a city landscape, along the lines of New York, it was very cute. The candidates and the current royalty started the night with a dance and the candidate’s also had to do an on stage question, which they did very well! Then the current royalty showed their slide show and talked about their year representing their city. I cried a little because we got very close to the South St. Paul girls, and now their year is over. But, the new girls who were crowned are so deserving and I can not wait to spend the rest of our reign with them. Congratulations to the new South St. Paul Kaposia Days Royalty!

2018 Farmington Dew Days

July 11, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

On Saturday, my royal sisters and I participated in the Farmington Dew Days Parade! Although it was very warm outside, that didn’t take away from the fun we had. Before the parade we were able to visit the other floats, and talk with many people, like the past Klondike Kate’s as well as the newly crowned Farmington girls, who are all so sweet! At one point during the parade route we were even able to stop and get lemonade from a little lemonade stand, and it was so refreshing. I really enjoyed being apart of Dew Days this year!

2018 Strawberry Fest Coronation

July 11, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

On Monday, June 18, my royal sisters and I attended the Cottage Grove Strawberry Fest coronation at Park High School. The theme was a Hawaiian luau and there was a fun photo booth with props that we took a lot of photos with. We talked with lots of visiting royalty and the new Farmington ambassadors who were crowned the week before. There was a reception afterwards with really good food. They had awesome sugar cookies decorated with a strawberry that were super yummy.

My favorite part of the coronation was the slide show of the royalty and their memories of the past year. This was my favorite, because we could see what the girls have done and now I look forward to the upcoming events we have over the next few weeks.

It was cool that the event was at Park. My mom and dad both graduated from Park, so it was awesome to see where they went to school.

It was a fun event!

Kaposia Days Kick off Dinner 2018

July 11, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

It was fun to attend the Kaposia Days kick off dinner. We were able to talk with the candidates and learn a little bit more about each of them. The night was filled with good conversation and a wonderful dinner. Each of the candidates had to do a commercial about their sponsors and did a wonderful job!
