I tacked on another 400+ miles to my journey as Miss Minnesota in the past two days! Call me silly, but I think it's fun to keep track! Miss America flies an average of 20,000 miles a month! By the end of this year, we'll know how far Miss Minnesota travels!
As I mentioned before, I met with Sherrie Kenny, the CEO of the Autism Society of Minnesota, on Tuesday to discuss my role as AuSM's new official spokesperson. I am so excited to use my voice as Miss Minnesota this year to advocate for something I am so passionate about.

On Wednesday morning, I headed to Gillette Children's Hospital for the Firefighter's Carnival fund raiser. For over 50 years, the St. Paul firefighters and other emergency response personnel have hosted this carnival for the children at Gillette. The kids had a blast! They could play games, win prizes, have their picture taken and made into buttons, and get their faces painted! This was my first time at Gillette as Miss Minnesota. I enjoyed meeting the people with whom I will be working as I advocate for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. It is going to be a great year!

That afternoon, I hopped back into my car to drive down to Minnesota Lake for the annual Festag Days Queens' Tea, parade, and queen coronation. This was the most fun I have had so far during my first month as Miss Minnesota! I arrived in Minnesota Lake just in time to enjoy a delicious dinner provided by the Festag queen committee. Afterward, I rode in a fabulous red Corvette in the Festag parade. A big thank you to Ken for being my chauffeur! Following the parade, I headed to the outdoor stage with the 11 ladies vying for the title of Miss Festag. I had a fantastic time joking around with George the emcee. We had the audience in a complete uproar. A huge thank you to the Festag queen committee for hosting me and many former Miss Minnesotas over the years at their event! I had an amazing time! I hope they will continue this wonderful tradition for years to come!
