On June 25, 2023 my royal sister and I got to attend the Farmington Dew days parade. We got to laugh and get to hang out. We got to see other royalty and got the opportunity to take so many pictures. We had a ton of fun. Shout out to the Winter carnival for singing happy birthday to my little sister. West is best!!

My royal sisters and I attended the Kaposia days parade in South Saint Paul. We started off with a pre parade at Holly and Scott Cocherellas home where we got to see other royalty. We had a great time during the parade despite the rain before

The Cottage Strawberry Days Parade was a very fun and well organized event. We were greeted with a breakfast of donuts and fresh strawberries. My Royal family and I enjoyed mingling with all the Royalty from other towns and festival. It was a perfect weather day for a parade. The Parade route was in more of a residential setting, where people could watch the parade in the shade of trees. I always enjoy seeing the excited smiling children waving, as our float passes by them. Later that evening my dad and I returned to enjoy some of other Strawberry Days festivities, live music, amusement park rides, food and carnival games. It was a very enjoyable day.

On Friday, June 16, 2023, my 3rd service project was volunteering at “Feed My Starving Children” in Eagan. I recruited a group of family and friends to participate with me to pack meals. The meals are sent to countries around the world where there is a great need for food for children. The afternoon volunteer session was full (over 100 volunteers) but our morning session was a very small group. That made it fun to see how many meals our small but mighty group could pack. We did very well packing 43 boxes and 9,288 meals. That will feed 25 kids a daily meal for a year! Our boxes were being shipped to Haiti. Due to recent earthquakes and Haiti being a very poor country, meals are extremely important nutrition for the children. With lively music playing, the atmosphere was upbeat. We worked fast as a team and had a great time. At the end of our session, we had the opportunity to say a group prayer over a large pallet of food boxes getting ready to be shipped. We prayed to bless the food to provide the needed nutrition for the children. And prayed for the food shipment to reach its destination. I look forward to volunteering again.

My royal sisters and I attended Inver Grove Height’s Terrific Tuesday in Oakwood park.They had a band playing kids music and they had two kids booths.115 people from the community participated and at the end there were freeze pops for everyone. There was a storybook walk on the path that families could go and read together. We volunteered by greeting everyone, helping with setup and taking attendance. I think it’s great that the city puts on events like this to bring the community together.

My royal sisters and I attended Cottage Grove’s Strawberry Fest Coronation at Park High School. There were 5 candidates running and there was a large sparkles section to support them. The candidates were really nice and outgoing. I learned that two of them do karate. I wasn’t surprised when they announced all of them were chosen for the court because they all did an awesome job with their questions and presenting themselves. At the end, there was a bunch of food in the cafeteria. The night was very fun and I’m so glad I participated.

On Sunday, June 11, 2023, me and my royal sisters attended Cottage Grove kick-off dinner, at River Oaks Golf Course. We celebrated the last little bit of time with the outgoing royalty. We met the candidates and saw the fun baskets they made to be auctioned off.

On June 10th my Royal Sisters and I were part of the West St. Paul parade. We have officially started parade season!
We talked with the Woodbury Royalty along with the Aquatennial Queen of Lakes and Commodore.
We were even able to hand out our own buttons now. They turned out really good- it’s a picture of the 5 of us.
This parade was shorter than the other ones we have done, but still just as great to get to know the people of West St. Paul.
Sincerely,
Little Miss Princess

On June 8th I attended the Rice Street Royalty kick-off dinner in St Paul. It was fun to meet all the lovely candidates, current royalty from Rice Street and other cities. They unveiled this year’s button which is really nice. Also, they had a dessert auction that was really fun. I cannot wait to see who will be representing Rice Street next. I was also happy to attend the dinner with Katie, Miss IGH Princess 2022.
