Pig Races

This will be my final blog until Miss Minnesota :D! Last night I was able to attend, for the second time, The Pig Races in Leader, MN. Wow what a blast. I went with Haley VanSteenwyk (Miss Baxter) and all of the Miss Brainerd/Miss Baxter contestants. We had so much fun. We participated in a hool-a-hoop contest, which I had the honor of winning, Bouncing horse races, and a few of us were able to have a pig to race! I also had a really fast pig, he won! We gathered many beads from the lovely 4 little girls that were helped out. It was a terrific time and for those who have no idea what the heck i'm talking about....check it out!!

Morgan Steffan had the same pig I did

Hope Mankowski had the blue pig!

Arabella Jones had the yellow pig!

They played musical chairs!!

Holly and Jaime got a chair, sadly Jackie didn't!!

Haley played the cotton ball game that I played 2 years ago!

What a great look!

Miss Brainerd/Miss Baxter "Cake Off"

So this last Saturday I was able to attend, and be apart of the Miss Brd/Miss Bxt "Cake Off". All of the Contestants for Brd/Bxt Pageant paired up and were competing in a cake decorating event, along with a few Miss MN contestants as well. It was a lot of fun! The girls were very competative... Here are the contestants cakes....

Team 1: And the winner of the "Cake of The Lakes" Award

"Peoples Choice" Award

Now for the Miss MN contestants cakes....

Our Teen Title Holders even got to compete!

After the decorating, judging, speaking, and cake eating was all said and done with, som of the royalty decided to see what a hurrican would feel like...so we squeezed 8....lets say that again, "8" queens into a hurricane similator, to find out that it wasn't working. :(

All in all though it was a great time! The Miss Brd/Miss Bxt Pageant raised some money, The contestants and Miss MN girls got to speak to the public about themselves, the organization and CMN, oh and of course eat cake!!! It was a BLAST!!!

Too Long.....

My oh My it has been a while since I posted, super busy.....what have I been up to.

Lets start with my platform, I have donated roughly 400 inches this year to Locks of Love. I have a box that I have picked up from a local salon that collected hair for me that has about 600 inches of hair in it!!! :) So I made my goal i set for myself this year. However, I am now increasing it to 2,000 inches!! Lets see how far I get in these last few months before Miss Minnesota!!

I have attended workshop...which was an interesting one this year. We have a new state board now! Hopefully it is a good year! I have a wonderful roomate, Miss Brittany Tischmack!! I also know what number I am in competition.....18!! Not bad! The teen pageant that night went soooo well! We had 3 girls from Brainerd Competing, Savannah Cole, Bailey Wachholz, and Molly West! Savannah captured first runner up and the lovely Bailey Won Miss Minnesotas Outstanding Teen!!!! Brainerd represents fantastically!!! :)

I have been volunteering for Ruby's Pantry here and there when I have time! What a great group!

I will be hosting a fundraiser at Pizza Ranch on May 23! Sooo excited about that. All proceeds go to CMN!

I will also be hosting a fundraiser at Buffalo Wild Wings every Wednesday in May! Very excited for those events, again, all proceeds go to CMN!

A lot in a little bit of time......I will surelly jump on here much more now that pageant week is aproaching! Until then.....
