On Friday, October 24th my group had the opportunity to go to the Ghostly Gathering at the Veterans Memorial Center. We got to dance, get candy, and help out with different activities. I loved that I was able to help and I had such a great time!
Today I got meet with representatives of my sponsor, Key Community Bank. I was happy to meet with them and drop off a thank you card and basket. We talked a little bit about myself and the program. They were very nice and even let me put a box in the lobby for donations towards my service project. Thank you, Key Community Bank, for your sponsorship.
The Cottage Grove Monster Bash Parade was a blast! It was our royal family’s first parade since we were crowned, and it did not disappoint! We chose Shrek as our theme, which won us 3rd place in creativity. I am looking forward to many more parades with my royal sisters.
Hi! I’m Jenna, your 2026 Little Miss Inver Grove Heights, and this is my first post.
This weekend was so fun, and I attended a new event! On Saturday, October 25, my Royal Sisters and I went to Trunk-or-Treat at the Moose Lodge dressed up as characters from the Shrek movie. We helped hand out hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and juices to the families that visited.
The trunks were very creative. People decorated their cars with fun themes like Cookie Monster, Jurassic Park, a princess and her dragon, and lots more. The Inver Grove Height’s fire truck and the police dog, Asher, were there, too.
THANK YOU to the Moose Lodge for having this fun event. And THANK YOU to all the volunteers who decorated their trunks and gave out candy – it was very fun.
Today I had the opportunity to meet with my sponsor at the Moose Lodge after their trunk or treat event! I gave Keith a thank you gift to show my appreciation for all of the support the Moose has given me so far. It’s always fun visiting with Keith and the Moose, and I hope to see them again soon!
Last week I had the opportunity to go to my sponsor Quality Auto Care Center. We meet Bruce who is the owner of Quality Auto Care and had a conversation about many different topics. I had a lot of fun meeting my sponsor. He is such a kind person, and I learned a lot about him and how he started his business. I’m looking forward to future visits.
For my first service project I went to volunteer for Inver Grove Heights Girl Scouts to organize shelves and supplies at a storage unit in Inver Grove. We took all of the items out of the unit and organized them then, replaced it so, area Girl Scout troop leaders and members can borrow things they need from there anytime they want. It was a good project and I’m exited for more to come!
Our royal family attended the Dog Pawty, where we had the opportunity to help out with activities like the dog kissing booth and musical sit, which is like musical chairs but for dogs! We loved meeting all the dogs and passing out treats and Halloween dog bandanas. We got to judge the dog costume contest and had so much fun doing so. It was exciting to see all the creative costumes. We also had a great time visiting with the vendors there. We ended the event with shaved ice treats thanks to Don Papi Chulo!
My royal sisters and I went to the Minnesota Wild game and we played against the Chicago Blackhawks. This is our first time our royalty got to go to the Wild’s Sparkle night and our first formal group event together. We were so excited! We unfortunately lost the game, but after we got to talk to royalties from area Twin Cities and then, we got on to the ice for photos. We had a blast and I’m exited for more to come!
On August 20th, I completed my final sponsor visit at Heartland Credit Union. I brought the staff a thank you card and some popcorn from Hometown Sweets.
They’re a really great sponsor to have and I’m so grateful for them and their support of the program.
