On Wednesday August 10th, we had our kick off dinner. This is one of my favorite events, because not only do we get to see the candidates in action but we also make a dessert that gets auctioned off. I was so fortunate to have my family and family friends there to support me along with my sponsor, Jessica from the Inver Grove Heights Animal Hospital. My royal girls and I had prepared speeches to thank each section of our program. Mine was the sponsors. Without sponsors and a dedicated board, the program would simply not exist. This event is also when we start our “has been” process. We are honored to get a pin from the past royal girls who crowned us (not all were able to attend). I was given the pin by Kelsey, Miss Inver Grove Heights 2014. It was truly an amazing night filled with laughs and sugar because of our colorful circus theme.
