On Saturday, January 4th, the Inver Grove Heights Royal Court attended the Saint Paul Winter Carnival Jr. Royalty Coronation to support the outgoing royalty and welcome the new court. We enjoyed meeting other communities, visiting with some past Inver Grove Heights Royalty, and eating various desserts! We are thrilled that Grace, our 2018 Jr. Princess, was crowned as the 2020 Princess of Snow! We look forward to getting to know the new Jr. Court throughout the year!

Salvation Army Bell Ringing
January 3, 2020 by
On December 29, my Royal Court and I did the Salvation Army bell ringing at Cub Foods. We got outside and already people were putting money in the bucket. We thought it would be fun if we sang Christmas songs and made up our own fun little dances for some entertainment, so we did so. We attracted people with our singing and dancing and just having smiles on our faces. We enjoyed raising money for a good cause. My Royal Court and I hope that this money helps the many people in need.

The Clouds Choir Event at MOA
January 2, 2020 by
My royal sisters and I proudly participated in The Clouds choir event at the Mall of America. Every floor around the east atrium at the MOA was lined with people coming out to support childhood cancer research and to honor Zach Sobiech. More than $700,000 was raised for cancer research here in MN. We all sang Zach’s song “clouds”. It was beautiful.

Sponsor Visit
December 23, 2019 by
Our program would not be available today if it was not for the amazing businesses and individuals that sponsor the candidates or the Inver Grove Heights Scholarship program as a whole. I was lucky enough to have Gertens sponsor me for this year! The staff had been very welcoming and supportive of me while I was a candidate and following the coronation they continue to be supportive and show excitement for this program and the events we attend. We are very thankful for everything Gertens, and the rest of our sponsors, do for us!

Candy Cane Hunt
December 17, 2019 by
On Saturday, December 7th, my royal sisters and I attended the Candy Cane Hunt at South Valley Park. We did the count down for the kids to start the search for the candy canes. While the kids were searching for the candy canes a few of us went to prepare some cookies and hot apple cider for the participants and their families. We enjoyed those snacks after the event along with some Christmas music.

Santa’s Workshop
December 12, 2019 by
On Saturday, December 8, my royal family and I attended Santa’s Workshop. This event took place in West Saint Paul, so we were accompanied by the West Saint Paul Royalty as well. This event gave the children in the surrounding communities a chance to come and buy presents for their families. The child’s guardian gives them a budget and they have the opportunity to use the money and shop Santa’s workshop. I was a shopper so I got to walk around with children individually and help them to pick out presents for their loved ones. I had a lot of fun at this event and I would love to volunteer again in the future.

Skate With Santa
December 12, 2019 by
On Saturday, December 7, the Inver Grove Heights Royal Family spent the night at the Skate With Santa event. We started off the night by helping hand out skates to all of the guests until we got to lace up our own skates and hit the ice! A lot of us had no idea how to skate, but a really sweet girl named Ava offered to teach us and she stuck by my side the rest of the night!

IGH Fire Station Dedication
November 24, 2019 by
On Sunday, November 17, 2019 my royal sisters and I went to see the grand opening of the IGH Fire Station #2. I was excited to see the new fire station because it is only 2 miles from my house. This will be a great addition to my neighborhood because we don’t have fire hydrants where I live. I learned that the IGH Fire Department has 2 tanker trucks to fight these types of fires. My favorite part of the day was the nooks and crannies tour with fire fighter Tony Kautz. It was neat to see the hose drying and training tower which is not only used to dry hoses from floor to ceiling, but also used to teach fire fighters how to enter confined spaces.

Service Project – Inver Grove Heights Princess
November 20, 2019 by
For my first service project as the 2020 Inver Grove Heights Princess, I decided that I wanted to make tie blankets for the adults and children that are at and will be at the Gillette’s Children’s Hospital. Over the span of a month I collected fleece donations and went out and bought fleece on my own to make these blankets. I would like to say a special thank you to Diane Rechtzigel and Debbie Heymans for their generous donations. I had to follow specific measurements to make these blankets so that they would be perfect for the patients receiving them. My mother and I spent time cutting and tying 15 blankets. It took quite a while but it definitely payed off and I am so excited that many people will be able to enjoy these blankets, I hope they make their stay a little more comfortable.
