I had the opportunity to do a final service project, a shoe drive, with three of my Royal sisters Amy, Ashley, and Autumn. We all collected shoes throughout our community and through people we know. I collected 569 pairs of shoes! All of these shoes will get donated and shipped overseas to woman, kids, and men. I think this was a good last service project to not only give back but to bless other people that don’t have things like we do. Nowadays we take so much for granted, everything that we have and don’t always think about the people that don’t have. Thank you to everyone who donated and it’s nice knowing that all of these shoes will go to a good cause!

* Today is your last chance to contribute! You can bring a pair of shoes or boots to the Coronation this afternoon at 4:30pm at the Performing Arts Center at Simley High School.

Canadian Days Parade
On Sunday, August 1st, my royal sisters and I attend the Little Canada’s Canadian Days parade. This parade was super fun. The weather was so nice and we had the opportunity to mingle with lots of royalty. Little Canada is such a cute town and I’d definitely do this parade again. I could not have asked for a better day!

Sponsor Visit – Quality Auto Care Center
I had my last official sponsor visit with Bruce at Quality Auto Care Center, but I plan to keep in touch! I am so grateful for Bruce’s continued support, not only for me, but for the entire program. Our program would not be possible without incredibly generous sponsors such as Quality Auto Care Center. I love being able to go down and talk to Bruce because he is such an amazing guy and such an amazing role model in our community and so many others. Thank you Bruce!
If your car needs repair, give Bruce a call!

Rice Street Coronation
On Monday, August 2, we had the opportunity to attend the Rice Street Coronation. They had 12 amazing candidates that we got to know very well over the last couple months and it was exciting to finally find out which lucky three girls would be crowned. They all did such and amazing job, the judges certainly had a hard choice! I really enjoyed hearing the candidates talk about what leadership skills they developed throughout candidacy. Hearing this reminded me of how much I have grown since my candidacy as well as how much growth I have seen in my fellow royalty and in participants of other programs. This program has had a major impact on my life and I am beyond grateful to continue growing alongside these other ambassadors. Finally, after the coronation, we enjoyed eating cookies, catching up with friends and other royalty groups, and snapping a picture with this royalty beautiful duck!

Sponsor Visit – Inver Grove Honda
This past Friday, I visited with my sponsor Inver Grove Honda. I met with them to thank them for sponsoring me. We discussed all of the different things I have had the opportunity to do and experience over the past two years. Everyone I met with was very friendly and welcoming. I always enjoy my visits with them.

Terrific Tuesdays with the Inver Grove Heights Park and Rec.
On Tuesday July 20th Amy, Teah, and I attended Terrific Tuesdays in the park with the Inver Grove Heights Park & Rec. We danced with the kids and listened to the live music. I love watching all of the kids interact with the musicians and have a fun time outside on a perfect summer day. After the performance a Mik Mart ice cream truck came to sell sweet treats to all of the kids. I look forward to helping out with this event again soon!

St. Paul Saints Sparkle Night
On July 13th, my royal sisters and I attended St Paul Saints Sparkle Night at CHS Field. All of the royalty groups that attended got to go on the field and walk a lap before the game and they announced each group. I had so much fun with my fellow royalty. It was a great game and the Saints won 19-1 over the Columbus Clippers!

Hopkins Raspberry Fest
On Thursday, July 15 my royal sisters and I attended the Hopkins Raspberry Festival coronation. This coronation was so fun. The emcees were so funny they had the whole crowd laughing the entire time. My favorite part of this coronation was definitely the after party because all of the visiting royalty got to go bowling in our crowns and gowns and we all had so much fun.

Sponsor Visit – Gertens
I spent the evening visiting with my sponsor, Gertens, and I could not have asked to have a better business to sponsor me! Over the last two years, Gertens has enthusiastically supported me and the program. Their environment is always so welcoming and the employees are very kind. We talked about how the last two years have been for our scholarship program and different types of events that we have brought the Inver Grove Heights joy to! I look forward to representing Gertens and the community for a couple more months until we crown the next group of royal ambassadors!
