Wednesday July 26, my royal sisters and I meet the new candidates for our program. We have 14 official candidates, it was a lot of fun to see all the girls who want to be apart of the organization.
I’m sad to give my title up but I’m happy the new girls will experience all the fun we have.
Good luck girls
Sincerely, Little Miss IGH

My Royal sisters and I helped with the “Terrific Tuesday” children event at Oakwood Park. The theme for the day was “Kidpower!” with Rachael featuring music and an animal show. The music consisted of cute children’s songs with sing along and dancing. The animals were a Chinchilla and a Bearded Dragon. Since it was my birthday, I was given the opportunity to hold the Chinchilla. Never had held one before. So cute and soft! It was a very hot morning and we distributed Freezies for a treat for the kids. It was fun dancing and visiting with the children. Everyone had a good time.

On Monday July 25th the IGH Royalty and I attended the Twins Sparkle Night. We had fun at the pregame activities and got to walk on the Target Field with royalty from all over the state. We also got to take pictures with the Twins Catcher, Christian Vasquez and with TC the Mascot. For this event we wore our fun Jerseys and tennis shoes, we want to thank Jesse for customizing them not only for us but for our family members too.
This was a nice family event and a day we were really proud to see Ashley, former IGH Royalty, as a member of the Twins organization.
We also had a little fun crowning a few little girls and talking to them and their families about our IGH Scholarship Program.

On July 20th my Royal sisters and I got to go to Inver Grove Heights Food Truck Days at Rich Valley Athletic Complex. First, we helped set up some games for the people to play. There was a giant Connect 4, corn hole, and some sort of large washer toss game. After that we got to mingle with the people of Inver Grove Heights and we got to see a lot of food trucks and get some dinner from some of them. There was even a DJ playing music and keeping the kids entertained. We had beautiful weather and some people brought their lawn chairs and ate dinner while talking to other people.

With severe thunderstorms coming there was a possibility of the parade being canceled.All Royalty groups participating in the parade were gathered in a large building to wait out the storm. Safe and dry. During this time my Royal sisters and I had the opportunity to meet and visit with many other Royalty from different towns and festivals.After a starting time delay, the weather passed, and the parade began. It was fun to see all the people that braved the weather enjoying the parade. The Aquatennial is celebrating its 83rd anniversary this year.We met the 2023 Queen of the Lakes, Kaia Schomberg (see photo). She competed with 37 candidates to earn her title and will make 250 personal appearances during her reign! It was a fun night. 2023 Inver Grove Heights Miss Princess

My royal sisters and I went to the Lakeville Pan O Prog parade which, also happened to be my birthday. We started at the Lakeville Arts center for a luncheon and to meet the rest of the visiting royalty. The luncheon had a lot of tasty food like sandwiches, cookies, cheese, and fruit tray. We got a ride in a golf cart to our float. The weather was perfect sunny but, with a breeze. We had a really good time. My royal sisters sang me happy birthday and we also received cookie dough at the end of the parade.

On Thursday, July 13th my royal sisters and I went to the Hopkins Raspberry Festival Coronation. The Raspberry Festival has been going on for 89 years! There was pictures of some of the older ambassadors, which was pretty neat to see. There were also a lot of other ambassadors celebrating the coronation as well.
We listened to the creative farewell speeches from the outgoing royalty and watched their slideshow of pictures from their year. Of course, the new Queen and Princesses were elected, which is always exciting to watch.
After the coronation we went to the Ball that was so much fun. We danced, ate cake, and there was even a Miss Congeniality musical chair game that our Queen, Stephanie, got pretty far in.

On Tuesday, July 4th my royal sisters and I got to go to Eagan Funfest. The first thing we did was the parade. There were so many people there to watch the parade and a lot of floats, too. We were halfway through the parade when it started to rain, hard! We had to finish out the route then we were able to get off of the float.
Of course we were soaked but luckily had a change of clothes with us. After we changed we participated in the hula hoop contest then danced for a good amount of time, it was really fun.
Then my favorite event so far, the Brain Freeze started. I didn’t even know Eagan Funfest had this event before this year. The Brain Freeze was an ice cream eating contest and you couldn’t use your hands at all. I am pretty sure we made it to the finals, but then we weren’t fast enough!
After the Brain Freeze we rode on the carousel for the Sparkle Ride. All royalty and the Eagan Funfest candidates rode on the carousel together.
This day was action packed and we all had so much fun!
Sincerely,
Little Miss Princess
