Pictures from the Past Couple Weeks :)

Crown Craziness

This past week was a whirl wind of Crown Craziness! I started with a News Paper interview and planned a Miss Perham news paper blip for our local paper. After that I went to talk and perform at my two households in the Perham Nursing home. That was a wonderful time! Seeing all the residents and having them tell me how proud they are of me will mean more to me than they will ever know. They truly are my second family. Then I moved on to the radio station, Lakes 99.5, where I ran a radio public service announcement to advertise my free canvas bags for the children on Halloween. A friendly reminder: I will be giving away Halloween trick or treat canvas bags this Friday, October 29th at the Chamber Office from 2 to 5 p.m. There will be an opportunity to donate to the Children's Miracle Network if you so choose. After having a wonderful hour of recording my advertisement with Dave Howey I went to St. Henry's school to say hi to all the children and teachers and set up a day for me to come and talk to the whole school about my platform. And that was the end of my busy Wednesday. Of course I can not forget to congratulate the new Miss Twin Cities and Miss Capital City- Lauren Johnson and Aja Majkrzak! All the women that competed that day did a fantastic job! I am so blessed to know so many great young ladies!

9th Grade Civics Presentations

Today I gave my first presentations on my platform, "Cut The Plastic: Reducing Our Plastic Waste." I was invited to talk about my platform and how it relates to civics by the ninth grade civics teacher Mrs. Shelly Bunkowske and I was very happy to accept her invitation. At first I was very nervous because I did not know how my audience would react to my power point or if they would be interested in what I was talking about. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how well received I was. The three classes that I presented to were involved and interested in what I had to say. I would like to thank the young men and women that gave me their undivided attention. I will be more than happy to come back to Perham High School anytime!

Miss North Metro

Congrats to the new Miss North Metro -Bethany Beinick and the first ever Miss North Metro Outstanding Teen-Bailey Wacholtz! All the young women performed wonderfully this afternoon. I also want to give a big hand to Tiffany, Miss North Metro 2009 for emceeing and give her a congratulations on her new job in California. Good Luck in all you do Tiffany! Although the show was great I had  fun seeing all my lovely pageant friends and catching up on everyone's busy lives. I am so proud to be apart of such a wonderful organization that brings all these fantastic young women together. We make life long friends and memories that will never be forgotten.
