My first service project I chose to do was to collect blankets for the puppies and kitties to donate to the animal hospital. I asked friends and family to donate gently used blankets, and even received some brand new ones. When I brought them into the Inver Grove Heights animal hospital, the staff were very excited and said this would last them all year. It felt good to know I helped contribute to keeping the pets warm when they are sick or having surgery.

This past Saturday Nov.8th, we traveled to New Richmond Wisconsin for the Crowning Achievements pageant. Crowning achievements is a non profit for teens and young adults with special needs. They organize fun events like bowling and trips to the zoo and also this pageant. This was the 17th year of the pageant. 

My favorite part of the event was watching the many talents and especially the comedy part, cause I thought the jokes were funny. We also took many pics with other ambassadors and a big group photo on stage with everyone. Of course  also took silly photos with my fellow royal sisters. 

Thank you to all the volunteers of Crowning Achievements it was a very fun day.

Last Thursday, I visited my sponsor, Wipaire. They have buildings in Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul.  They build and put floats on airplanes. These floats help planes land on the water!  One of the coolest planes I saw was the Fire Boss, a special plane that helps fight fires from the sky.

Shanti and Andrew gave my dad and me a tour, and it was so fun to see how the floats are made and to get up close to the airplanes. Everyone was very nice, and I had a lot of fun.

THANK YOU to Wipaire for the wonderful tour and for supporting the Inver Grove Heights Scholarship Program!

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!
