2018 Twins Sparkle night

July 19, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

On July 10th, my royal sisters and I, attended Twins Sparkle Night. We met at Fort Snelling and took the light rail to downtown. We got the opportunity to go down onto the field and walk around the track with other royalty groups and programs, like Gillette Children’s Hospital and the Winter Carnival royalty. We got to see TC Bear, which was exciting. Junior Miss Ashley, threw out the first pitch! It was really cool and she did a great job.

The Twins had a good start to the game, but the KC Royals ended up winning the game. It was a very long game and it was hot out, but we still had lots of fun. We are lots of yummy stuff, like cotton candy and popcorn. We took pictures by the Mickey Mouse statue and big glove.

Eagan Fun Fest 2018

July 13, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

On Wednesday, my royal sisters and I attended Eagan’s Fourth of July Fun Fest. We started off the morning with a delicious pre-parade breakfast of muffins and orange juice at Lost Spur Golf Club. We also were able to take pictures in the beautiful landscaping in the back of the club, and talk with other visiting royalty! Next we headed to the parade lineup. Unfortunately it started pouring outside, soaking everyone, and the parade had to be cancelled. The rain didn’t ruin our fun though, and we ended our day at the Eagan Fun Fest’s Brain Freeze ice cream eating competition. I didn’t come close to winning, but I was amazed to see how fast some people can eat ice cream!

2018 Junior Miss Ashleys Service Project

April 30, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

As Junior Miss I am responsible for completing two service projects. For my second service project I made Easter goody bags for the kids at Gillette Childrens Hospital. Thank you to my family, friends, Greg Kuntz, and Dan and Carol Swenson without their help this project would not have been so successful. I delivered the bags at the end of March so that the kids that would be staying at the hospital over Easter would have something to brighten their day and make them feel special. I am going to continue bringing gifts throughout my reign and many more years to come. I love working with children so much ,even though I did not get to work with them directly ,knowing that they would receive these bags made me very happy!

SSP/ IGH Rotarian Dinner 2018

April 27, 2018 by Rochelle VanKempen

On Friday Ashley, Hanah, and I attended the SSP/IGH Rotary dinner. Before the dinner we got the chance to meet Frøya, the exchange student sponsored by the Rotary, as well as Steve Mankowski, the recipient of Rotary’s Humanitarian Recognition award. Also, we, along with the SSP royalty, were in charge of promoting the Dessert Dash and collecting the donations at the end. It raised a lot of money, and all of the desserts looked so delicious! The emcee of the night was Kat Perkins, a previous contestant on the voice. She sang a couple of songs and had an amazing voice! During dinner Frøya gave a speech about coming to America and her enjoyable experience in the exchange program. At the end of the evening, they presented the Humanitarian Recognition award to Steve Mankowski, and he had a very good, heartfelt speech. I really enjoyed the dinner and had a wonderful time meeting the people involved in Rotary
