The Miss Inver Grove Heights Kick Off Dinner was quite a secret evening. Our royal court had a wonderful time celebrating our past year and learning more about each of the new candidates. It was a great time visiting with the other surrounding communities and also seeing many of our sponsors that support this wonderful program. Our royal court did a wonderful job presenting there speeches and I was so proud to see the younger girls speak so confidently. I loved watching the candidates skits and seeing there unique all about me outfits that were presented during the event. I can’t wait for the coronation in order to see which candidates will be honored with the opportunity to represent the city of Inver Grove Heights!

The Inver Grove Heights Royalty attended the Woodbury Kickoff dinner. We met the excited candidates and visited with other royal courts. There were homemade desserts available from the younger age group. From the miss division, there were baskets auctioned off. All of the proceeds help the program. We had a delicious beef dinner to top it all off! Great to see the mayor and sponsors in attendance supporting these lovely women!! Can’t wait to watch these candidates take on Coronation!

On Tuesday August 1st, my royal family and I got to attend some parties around Inver Grove Heights. We had so much fun visiting with a lot of new people. We even got to stop at the party in my neighborhood. We saw a bunch of firetrucks, and the K-9 unit. My favorite part was getting to visit all the different parts of Inver Grove and meeting all the new people. I can’t wait until National Night out next year.

On July 26th I completed my final service project as Miss Inver Grove Heights Princess. This service project involved me collecting donations of plastic bags from community members and then using them for a better purpose. I organized them and brought them to the Animal Humane Society in Woodbury. These bags then are reused for cleanup purposes for the animals in need. I collected over 150 bags and the workers were in aww at the donation. I’m glad to have been able to help out a local animal shelter!

On Tuesday July 18, my Royal Family and I got to attend Sparkle Night at the Twins game. It was so fun to get to walk the field and our pictures were on the Jumbotron when we crossed home plate. It was my first Twins game ever. It was great seeing all the other Royal Families but my favorite part was after the game. I met a little girl at the train station who was so excited to meet a princess and take a picture with me. I loved seeing how happy she was.
