My royal sisters and I went to the Inver Grove Heights, Ghostly Gathering.  It’s a community Halloween event to play games, take photos, go in a bounce house or dance with your friends and family.  My royal sisters and I worked the event by hosting the games.  I started by hosting the bowling game – every guest received two balls and had to try knocking down the pins.  Then, I handed them candy as a reward and set the pins back up.  I switched stations to host the photo booth to take photos of people with their phones.  I moved to the candy walk where guests had to walk in a circle until we said stop and took a card with a number on it.  If they had a card that matched, they won.  Everyone came dressed in costumes, we were dressed as Ghostbusters and as a marshmallow.  It was a great time and I was excited to participate.

On October 22, we had an event at the Moose Lodge in Inver Grove.  A group photo was taken for the financial support the Moose Lodge gives us. There was a meat raffle and a bake sale. We helped with the bake sale and got to meet people from our community who supported the Lodge with their purchases. It was a fun event. People enjoyed the baked goods. We greatly appreciate the generous sponsorship the Lodge gives the Scholarship program.

On October 4th, the Inver Grove Heights royalty were able to share in the excitement of the grand opening of Perplebunny’s Axe House. Along with meeting people in our community, we meet city council members and the owners. The owner, Dustin Kerr had a fun story of how and why they started their axe house. Please stop by and support a local business. You must be 18 or older to throw an axe, we were unable to throw an axe because of our ages, but with our royal coordinators supervision we were able to still have a fun photo opportunity.
Sincerely,

On October 1st, the Inver Grove Heights Royalty attended the Halloween Dog Paw-ty at Heritage Park from 2:00-4:00. This event was attended by several furry friends in their costumes along with their owners. This event was sponsored by Dreadlocks for Dingoes they donated a full grooming as a prize for the best costume. We really had a great time attending this event and meeting our neighbors.

On Thursday, August 25, I was able to attend Open Door Pantry with our Miss Candidate. We had a great time. We helped stock shelves, check out the clients, and answered questions. It is such an amazing organization and I am so glad we were able to help them.

I am so incredibly honored to be the first recipient of the Carol Swenson Memorial Scholarship.

The Inver Grove Heights Scholarship Program is a nonprofit organization that I have been part of for a long time. This summer, I took on a bigger role in the organization as the social media director.

The Inver Grove Heights Scholarship Program has given me so much and continues to allow me to grow as an individual. I am so thankful that I am able to be part of such an amazing organization and offer young men and women the opportunities that were once offered to me.

The late Carol Swenson was the treasurer of this amazing program and I am beyond grateful to be recognized in her name. Carol was a true symbol of leadership, hard work, and dedication. I thank her family for seeing these qualities in me, as she was a huge mentor to me and I strive to impact lives the way she was able to.

On Monday, August 22nd my royal sisters and I brought our IGH Ambassador program candidates to the Woodbury Coronation. It was a mix of emotions as we are really going to miss the current court.  It was a lot of fun getting to know all of them.  However, we are so excited for the newly crowned ambassadors of Woodbury and know they are going to do a great job!  Thank you to the new court for letting us share your special night with you!
