Saturday August 16th, we attended the North Hudson Pepperfest parade and celebration. The rain stopped just in time to start the parade. It was cool seeing some royalties from cities we don’t get to see often. After the parade we entered the spaghetti eating contest where we each ate a pound of spaghetti! It was quite an experience and gave me insight into competitive eating! It was a good day and fun town celebration!
On August 13th my royal sisters and I met at the Inver Glen Library to support this year’s candidates for their interviews with the judges who will help decide the next royal sisters. During the visit, we also got to record our farewell speeches for this year’s coronation and we got to mingle and make a bond with the candidates while we all waited for our turn to record our speeches. It was a really fun night!
Tuesday 8/12 we visited Town Square Television where we talked about the program, invited people to coronation and showcased the new candidates. It was really nice having more time to talk to the candidates between interviews.
You can check out their website to see our full clips!
On August 6th my royal sisters and I had our Kick Off dinner. It was exciting to learn about or candidates through there decorated buckets. Us current girls and our miss candidate made deserts to auction off, I got my desserts to sell for $410! My royal sisters and I said our thank you to everyone who has supported this program. We also got crown pins on our sash by the past 2024 Inver Grove Heights court. Kick Off dinner was so fun and amazing, i loved talking with everyone.
On Saturday, August 2nd, my Royal sisters and I attended the Relay For Life in South St. Paul. When we first arrived, we began by judging various puzzle piece designs that were designed around cancer awareness. The relay then kicked off with Commissioner Joe Atkins who gave an opening speech addressing how much the Relay for Life has helped and he also introduced everyone to several cancer survivors and people impacted by it. Near the end, Commissioner Atkins invited the “Klondike Kate’s” to sing which ended up with them inviting my royal sisters and I to sing along with them. Once the relay began, my royal sisters and I cheered for everyone participating and also cheered on all the survivors as they went around the track. This was my first Relay for Life event and it felt great being able to show up and help out the community.
My royal sisters and I celebrated Night to Unite by visiting neighborhood parties in Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul. We stopped at Faith United Methodist Church to hand out glow bracelets to the kids playing in the bouncy house. St. Patrick’s Catholic Church hosted us for sundaes- that was delicious! They had Vanillas with strawberry syrup and strawberries, vanilla with chocolate and toffee, and vanilla with caramel and apples. The police were there and we were able to jump in the back of the police car! It was great to meet new neighbors in the community. Everyone was so generous and welcoming!
On August 8th my royal sisters and I attended the Rice Street Coronation. I loved learning about each candidate, and hearing what most stuck with them throughout their candidacy. It was so fun seeing the girls get crowned. I can’t wait to get to know them more. Congratulations Rice Street.
On July 31st we had the pleasure of attending the Woodbury royalty kickoff dinner. It was cool to be able to talk more with the candidates. There were baskets that the candidates and current court auctioned off with some really cool things in them. They had several delicious desserts for sale as well. It was cool to experience another community kick off dinner as each have their own spin!
