On Monday August 28, my royal family and I got to attend the coronation of the Woodbury Royalty. It was a sad event because we have spent all year getting to know these wonderful girls and now they are done. It is our final coronation before our own. We bought all the candidates with us so they can see how much fun attending a coronation is. It was fun seeing the new royalty crowned. I hope they have a great year.

I would like to thank Gino from the Inver Grove Heights Gerten’s for sponsoring me this year. He was the key component to my amazing journey. The willingness to sponsor me has allowed me to be apart of a program that helps build and grow my personality. I have developed my skills in leadership, time management, public speaking, interviews, meeting friends, responsibility, volunteerism, and so much more. His donation helped pay for our wardrobe, kick off dinners, parade float, and a scholarship at the end of my rein. I am blessed to have Gino my sponsor, I would not be the woman I am today without him!

I am glad I was able to meet with my sponsor Dan Grevas during the Miss Inver Grove Heights Kick Off Dinner.
I’m thankful for a wonderful sponsor for supporting me during the past year and also for providing us with beautiful photos of our royal family! It’s been a wonderful year and it would not have been possible without the support of each and every sponsor, but I’d like to specifically give a huge thanks to my sponsor Dan Grevas Photography and hope his support of this wonderful program continues throughout the future!

On August 19th My royal sisters and I attended the Hudson Pepper fest! We had a cool Queens tea with other royal courts and the Winter Carnival Crew, it was a great morning, While waiting the parade and visiting the other floats, our music prompted a sing along with the Klondike Kate float and all the beautiful ladies, it was fun. After the parade we got in line for our turn at the Spaghetti eating contest, we didn’t win, but we did a great job, and our Queen Kristie managed to do it in 42 secs. We danced and laughed and got to wear cool bandanas, Great day put on by Hudson.

On August 15, I went to see my sponsor from Old World Pizza. I told them how grateful I am that they are my sponsor. I had the best time this year and it wouldn’t have been possible without them.
Thanks Old World Pizza! You’re the best!

On Sunday August 13th my royal family, along with the 2018 royalty candidates, spent the morning serving pancakes, sausage and beverages to family, friends and supporters of the IGH Royalty program. We were able to meet a lot of friendly people. There was also a star tree. People were able to buy a star for $10 and then they got a prize for it.
All prizes were valued at more than the $10 paid for the star. Once people were done eating we helped clean up the tables. At the end of the event I was able to eat my own breakfast with my family. It was yummy!

The Miss Inver Grove Heights Kick Off Dinner was quite a secret evening. Our royal court had a wonderful time celebrating our past year and learning more about each of the new candidates. It was a great time visiting with the other surrounding communities and also seeing many of our sponsors that support this wonderful program. Our royal court did a wonderful job presenting there speeches and I was so proud to see the younger girls speak so confidently. I loved watching the candidates skits and seeing there unique all about me outfits that were presented during the event. I can’t wait for the coronation in order to see which candidates will be honored with the opportunity to represent the city of Inver Grove Heights!

The Inver Grove Heights Royalty attended the Woodbury Kickoff dinner. We met the excited candidates and visited with other royal courts. There were homemade desserts available from the younger age group. From the miss division, there were baskets auctioned off. All of the proceeds help the program. We had a delicious beef dinner to top it all off! Great to see the mayor and sponsors in attendance supporting these lovely women!! Can’t wait to watch these candidates take on Coronation!

On Tuesday August 1st, my royal family and I got to attend some parties around Inver Grove Heights. We had so much fun visiting with a lot of new people. We even got to stop at the party in my neighborhood. We saw a bunch of firetrucks, and the K-9 unit. My favorite part was getting to visit all the different parts of Inver Grove and meeting all the new people. I can’t wait until National Night out next year.
