Candidate Potluck

On Wednesday July 16th 2025, my royal sisters and I got together for a potluck with all the candidates and their families! We had so much fun playing at south valley park and we enjoyed good food. Even though it was rainy, wet and a little chilly we still had such a good time playing games. We also had a great time interacting and meeting some of their parents. Also, I enjoyed seeing the candidates introduce themselves!

Service Project: Cards of Love

On Wednesday, July 16th I went to the Good Samaritan Society nursing home to pass out hand made cards. My cousins who were in town helped make and pass the cards out with me. We heard many stories from the people here, one of them was, “did i tell you about the dotted line? my friend passed out at a tattoo shop and i put dotted lines on his neck, ear to ear and wrote “cut on dotted lines” His story was so funny, we enjoyed it a lot. We also had one lady sing to us, and we sang with her too. We passed out every card to the peolpe in the nursing home and also the workers there!

Service Project: The Dragonfly Project

For my first service project I decided to make dragonfly keychains for The Dragonfly project, which is a non profit that sends condolence cards to people who are grieving.  Each packet includes a card, the dragonfly story and a keychain.  I got the materials, put 288 keychains together and then mailed them off to headquarters to be sent to grieving families.  I enjoyed this being my first royal service project.

Lumber Jack Day Parade

On Sunday July 20, my royal sisters and I attended the Lumber Jack Day Parade in Stillwater. We talked to Junior and St. Paul Winter Carnival, Vulcans, Woodbury and North Hudson Pepper fest royalties. I had so much fun talking with these royalties and noticing the smiles on everyone’s faces as they watched the parade go by.

Pan-O-Prog Parade

The Pan-O-Prog parade was so fun we got to meet a lot of the newly crowned royalty even though we didn’t have the chance to go to the coronation. It was nice getting to meet and congratulate them! The parade was very hot it was also very fun and well worth pushing through the heat!

Hopkins Raspberry Fest Coronation

On July 17 my royal sisters and I went to Hopkins for their coronation day festivities.  We started off with their royalty goose chase scavenger hunt where we walked around mainstreet and took a lot of photos while exploring the town.  After, we went to see the coronation. It was interesting learning the raspberry facts from each of the candidates.  I loved seeing another town’s coronation and the differences between them all. They had a really fun dance and cake party after, which was so fun and unique.  I’m so happy for their new royal court and look forward to getting to know them.

Eagan Coronation

On Monday July 7th my royal sisters and I attended the Eagan coronation. I was excited to see the new court get crowned and sad to see the past year’s court finish.  The outgoing court gave really great speeches, we learned they are really into going out for sushi. I am excited to get to know the new court at future events.

Service Project: Inver Glen Library

I have always loved reading which is why I chose my second service project to be at the library! I learned how to organize books from different sections I volunteered 3 times and it was an amazing experience getting to work with the library on this!

Eagan Funfest

On the 4th of July, me and my royal sisters attended the Eagan Funfest Parade. We enjoyed meeting and chatting with many other royalty groups and greeted Eagan’s ambassador candidates. We all took part in the Brain Freeze competition and had a blast dancing with the DJ. And we even got to ride on the ferris wheel overall It was a fun and memorable day filled with laughter and new connections! And we wish the new ambassador candidates luck.
