Hi!  I’m Jenna, your 2026 Little Miss Inver Grove Heights, and this is my first post.

This weekend was so fun, and I attended a new event!  On Saturday, October 25, my Royal Sisters and I went to Trunk-or-Treat at the Moose Lodge dressed up as characters from the Shrek movie.  We helped hand out hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and juices to the families that visited. 

The trunks were very creative.  People decorated their cars with fun themes like Cookie Monster, Jurassic Park, a princess and her dragon, and lots more.  The Inver Grove Height’s fire truck and the police dog, Asher, were there, too.

THANK YOU to the Moose Lodge for having this fun event. And THANK YOU to all the volunteers who decorated their trunks and gave out candy – it was very fun. 

Little Miss Inver Grove Heights,

Today I had the opportunity to meet with my sponsor at the Moose Lodge after their trunk or treat event! I gave Keith a thank you gift to show my appreciation for all of the support the Moose has given me so far. It’s always fun visiting with Keith and the Moose, and I hope to see them again soon!

Last week I had the opportunity to go to my sponsor Quality Auto Care Center. We meet Bruce who is the owner of Quality Auto Care and had a conversation about many different topics. I had a lot of fun meeting my sponsor. He is such a kind person, and I learned a lot about him and how he started his business.  I’m looking forward to future visits.

For my first service project I went to volunteer for Inver Grove Heights Girl Scouts to organize shelves and supplies at a storage unit in Inver Grove. We took all of the items out of the unit and organized them then, replaced it so, area Girl Scout troop leaders and members can borrow things they need from there anytime they want. It was a good project and I’m exited for more to come!

Our royal family attended the Dog Pawty, where we had the opportunity to help out with activities like the dog kissing booth and musical sit, which is like musical chairs but for dogs! We loved meeting all the dogs and passing out treats and Halloween dog bandanas. We got to judge the dog costume contest and had so much fun doing so. It was exciting to see all the creative costumes. We also had a great time visiting with the vendors there. We ended the event with shaved ice treats thanks to Don Papi Chulo!

My royal sisters and I went to the Minnesota Wild game and we played against the Chicago Blackhawks. This is our first time our royalty got to go to the Wild’s Sparkle night and our first formal group event together. We were so excited!  We unfortunately lost the game,  but after we got to talk to royalties from area Twin Cities and then, we got on to the ice for photos. We had a blast and I’m exited for more to come!

On August 20th, I completed my final sponsor visit at Heartland Credit Union.  I brought the staff a thank you card and some popcorn from Hometown Sweets. 

They’re a really great sponsor to have and I’m so grateful for them and their support of the program.

On August 16th I volunteered with the Free Book Buggie. They collect and deliver books to children around the Twin Cities for free.

I got to meet a couple of their regular volunteers and learn more about their mission.  We sorted and cleaned up some donated books, we also pulled some books to have ready for a parade they were in.  It was fun for me since I have a love for books and I look forward to volunteering with them again.

Woodbury has always been special to our program as they get crowned close to us.  It’s also the only coronation our candidates go to! I love seeing all the picture frames the candidates make and the beautiful dresses and can’t wait to see what the new royalty will accomplish in their year.

On September 2nd I made my last visit to Bruce at Quality Auto Care Center. Bruce has been an incredible sponsor and supporter throughout my reign, and I’m so thankful for the kindness and generosity he’s shown me. Over the past year, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know him—not only as a sponsor, but as someone who genuinely cares about the people he helps. Saying goodbye was bittersweet, but I was grateful to leave him with a picture of the two of us from my second sponsor visit to add to his wall of all the amazing individuals he’s sponsored, it is beautiful to me to see he does the pictures of everyone he’s sponsored, and I’m now grateful and proud to take part in the tradition.

Sincerely 

Miss Princess of Inver Grove Heights 2025,

Samantha
