On January 21, 2020, I dropped off the rest of the items for my first community service project. My community service project was where you can donate pretty much anything to Caring Hearts of Minnesota, and they will give it away for free to people that need it.
My target was to get to 500 items and we collected more than 700 items! The organization that I went to was in Farmington. I meet with a lady named Fran who was more than happy to receive all the stuff that I collected. I just want to say thank you to all my friends and family that helped my reach my goal. I’m so happy to know that I am helping people in need.

Sponsor Visit: Quality Auto Care Center
January 20, 2020 by
I have been honored to be sponsored by Quality Auto Care Center throughout my candidacy and now my reign. It is very important to me that I show this business how much I value their continued support. Around the holidays I stopped in and visited with the owner, Bruce. We talked for quite a while and he told me all about the new things that have been happening there since my last visit. Bruce is such a personable guy and when you stop in he truly makes you feel like family. The fact that he took time out of his busy schedule to make time to meet with me really shows how much he cares about his community. I look forward to the rest of the year and he is one of the special people that have made that happen for me.

January 20, 2020 by
On Saturday, January 18, my Royal court and I went to the Saint Paul Winter Carnival Royal Promenade Fashion Show. We saw all of the wonderful Candidates for Queen of the Snows model all of their beautiful outfits. We had the opportunity to get to know some of them by mingling and talking to them. We saw the current 2019 Winter Carnival Royal Family show off their beautiful outfits as well. We had a wonderful luncheon right before the fashion show which was delicious. We looked around at the different booths that were displayed with wonderful items. My Royal Court and I had a wonderful time. Thank you to everyone who made the fashion show happen. It was wonderful ! Thank you again to everyone who made that event possible.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing
January 3, 2020 by
On December 29, my Royal Court and I did the Salvation Army bell ringing at Cub Foods. We got outside and already people were putting money in the bucket. We thought it would be fun if we sang Christmas songs and made up our own fun little dances for some entertainment, so we did so. We attracted people with our singing and dancing and just having smiles on our faces. We enjoyed raising money for a good cause. My Royal Court and I hope that this money helps the many people in need.

The Clouds Choir Event at MOA
January 2, 2020 by
My royal sisters and I proudly participated in The Clouds choir event at the Mall of America. Every floor around the east atrium at the MOA was lined with people coming out to support childhood cancer research and to honor Zach Sobiech. More than $700,000 was raised for cancer research here in MN. We all sang Zach’s song “clouds”. It was beautiful.

Sponsor Visit
December 23, 2019 by
Our program would not be available today if it was not for the amazing businesses and individuals that sponsor the candidates or the Inver Grove Heights Scholarship program as a whole. I was lucky enough to have Gertens sponsor me for this year! The staff had been very welcoming and supportive of me while I was a candidate and following the coronation they continue to be supportive and show excitement for this program and the events we attend. We are very thankful for everything Gertens, and the rest of our sponsors, do for us!

Candy Cane Hunt
December 17, 2019 by
On Saturday, December 7th, my royal sisters and I attended the Candy Cane Hunt at South Valley Park. We did the count down for the kids to start the search for the candy canes. While the kids were searching for the candy canes a few of us went to prepare some cookies and hot apple cider for the participants and their families. We enjoyed those snacks after the event along with some Christmas music.
