This past weekend I was fortunate enough to become Miss Crystal Lake 2011!!!!!!! I cannot explain how happy I am and how excited I am for this upcoming year, as I have so much that I plan to do, especially with my platform and community engagements. This pageant really was a blast to compete in because of the contestants being such great girls. I can't say enough how well all of the contestants did and I would like to congratulate:
Mindy Fetzer on winning People's Choice award and 3rd runner up.
Samantha Hartings on winning Swimsuit and 2nd runner up.
Kirsten Fennig on winning Interview and 1st runner up.
And to my new sister queen and Miss West Central Elissa McCraken!!!! I look forward to sharing this year with you and really enjoyed getting to know you better at the pageant. I think it will be a fantastic year for both of us, as well as, returning to Miss Ohio 2012 together.
I also wanted to give a huge congratulations to my roomate this past year at MO Jessica Nelson, for being crowned Miss North Coast last night!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhh!!! I'm so happy for you and it was well deserved as I know how hard you work and your passion and desire to the program.
Thank you EVERYONE who supported me this weekend and to those of you who came out to the pageant. A special thank you to Michelle, Courtney Monk, Alyssa Waldman, and Becky Minger for being there. It was so nice of you to come and really meant alot to me. As I always say, the experience and win would not be nearly as great without the people I love there supporting and cheering for me. Thank you again as I am always grateful.
I enjoyed a fun appearance with my sister queen and with Miss America 2009, Katie Stam yesterday at Primrose in Marion. Today I am off to celebrate Kelsey Barrett's send off to the Miss America Outstanding Teen Pageant!! Good Luck to her and I look forward to seeing everyone at the send off today.
Well speaking of send off, I need to get ready as I am still currently in my PJ's! haha
I thank God for blessing me with this wonderful weekend and for having it in his plan for me to be your Miss Crystal Lake 2011.
Have a great day everyone!
