MISS MINNESOTA WEBSITE HAD A MAKE OVER

I have been waiting and waiting to see  my picture on the Miss Minnesota website ever since my crowning and it is finally up there! I am so excited, it makes it feel that much more real. The Miss Minnesota webpage has a brand new look thanks to Nicole Sutterfield and looks fabulous! I suggest that everyone goes and checks out the site and see all the girls competing for Miss Minnesota 2011! 

Last Day of Turtle Races

Today was the last day of turtle races for the 2010 year and we had a blast! I would like to thank all the volunteers that have helped with turtle races for all their time, devotion, and welcoming smiles! I will miss our hugs and silly conversations. Today we held turtle races next to the chamber, as we always do, then at 1:30 we went to the nursing home so that all the residents could race turtles also. This was a special treat for me as well as them, because I am an employee at Perham Memorial Nursing Home. I got to see my good friends and fellow workers, along with the wonderful people I take care of! Although I am sad that this was my last day of turtle races till next year I am excited to now devote this time to my classes and my preparation for Miss Minnesota!

First Radio Interview

Today was my first radio interview with Dave Howey at Lakes 99.5. It was wonderful to chat with him about myself, my platform, and my plans for my upcoming year. Dave has seen me grow up in plays, dance, choir, and speech through out my life by either being a fellow cast member, recording the productions, or as a coach. Thank you, Dave, for all your support and kindness through out the years! It was wonderful talking to you today and I look forward to some more talks with you soon!

What A Ride

I cannot believe that I was crowned Miss Perham 17 days ago! I am excited for what this year holds for me and am even more excited to represent my home town. Time has flown by and I have so much to let everyone know and really do not even know where to start. I guess I can start by saying that my first Children's Miracle Network fundraising event was a blast! Miracle Treat Day was a huge success! Not only did I get to see my friend and Miss Heart of the Lakes title holder, Kalli Randall but I got to raise money to help children that rely on the CMN for their medical needs. I have definitely kept busy with other things as well. This past week I went to my first pageant appearance as Miss Perham, the young ladies vying for Miss Vergas and Princess Altona did a wonderful job and I am proud of all of them! Congrats and good luck to the new title holders! I have also been helping out every Wednesday at the unique International Turtle Races of Perham, the volunteers are an absolute blast and I would not trade my time with them for anything in the world. I will be sure to keep everyone posted and up to date with all of my duties and appearances as Miss Perham 2010.
