My royal sisters and I had a great time at Inver Grove’s Breakfast with Santa event.  The staff did a great job decorating with lots of balloons, a giant inflatable Santa, and lots of red and green.  Ryleigh, Rhiannon, and I were assigned to the visit Santa line.  Kids were able to take photos with Santa and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.  A couple of kids started crying because they were scared of their first Santa visit.  While Stephanie and Evelyn greeted and directed people to either take photos with Santa or to the breakfast line.  They served eggs, creamy potatoes, and sausage.  Later, people came and went so, we all went up front and handed out gift bags as they were leaving.  Overall, it was a pretty fun event and people enjoyed themselves.

On December 9th, 2022 I attended the 10th annual Cloud Choir for a cause at the Mall of America with the Inver Grove Heights Royalty Court. This event raised over $20,000 from the Clouds Choir plus over a million dollars from KS95 radiothon to benefit Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund and the kids fighting cancer. We were honored and moved while singing the beautiful lyrics to “Clouds” with hundreds of people in attendance

My royal sisters and I went to New Richmond, WI to go to the Crowning Achievements event.  It’s a coronation to empower those with special needs.  They had 22 participants who got to get dressed up, perform a special talent like singing and dancing, made their own band, and do an obstacle course with a wheelchair.  At the end of the night, everyone was crowned Princess or King.  The candidates had great personalities and were fun to be around.  It was also great to see how much other royalty from various cities came to support them.  It was a very special night to celebrate the special needs community.

On October 30th we attended the Trunk or Treat at the Moose Lodge 1088. This was a very fun event where kids wearing cool costumes got to trick or treat at the decorated car trunks and also we got to hand them delicious hot dogs, chips, juice, and a pumpkin cookie to decorate at home. The IGH firefighters brought the cool fire engines and we got to enjoy being “Ghostbusters” again after our First Prize Award at the Monster Bash Parade the previous day.

On Saturday, October 29th the Inver Grove Heights Royalty participated in our first parade! It was called the Cottage Grove Strawberry Fest Monster Bash Parade. It was a lot of fun getting to meet other royalty. The theme that we picked for our float was Ghostbusters and we won first place for the Most Creative! I loved getting to spend time with my new royal family and I can’t wait for more events!

Sincerely,

My royal sisters and I went to the Inver Grove Heights, Ghostly Gathering.  It’s a community Halloween event to play games, take photos, go in a bounce house or dance with your friends and family.  My royal sisters and I worked the event by hosting the games.  I started by hosting the bowling game – every guest received two balls and had to try knocking down the pins.  Then, I handed them candy as a reward and set the pins back up.  I switched stations to host the photo booth to take photos of people with their phones.  I moved to the candy walk where guests had to walk in a circle until we said stop and took a card with a number on it.  If they had a card that matched, they won.  Everyone came dressed in costumes, we were dressed as Ghostbusters and as a marshmallow.  It was a great time and I was excited to participate.

On October 22, we had an event at the Moose Lodge in Inver Grove.  A group photo was taken for the financial support the Moose Lodge gives us. There was a meat raffle and a bake sale. We helped with the bake sale and got to meet people from our community who supported the Lodge with their purchases. It was a fun event. People enjoyed the baked goods. We greatly appreciate the generous sponsorship the Lodge gives the Scholarship program.

On October 4th, the Inver Grove Heights royalty were able to share in the excitement of the grand opening of Perplebunny’s Axe House. Along with meeting people in our community, we meet city council members and the owners. The owner, Dustin Kerr had a fun story of how and why they started their axe house. Please stop by and support a local business. You must be 18 or older to throw an axe, we were unable to throw an axe because of our ages, but with our royal coordinators supervision we were able to still have a fun photo opportunity.
Sincerely,
