No more locals!

Last weekend was the last weekend to win a preliminary title to go to Miss Missouri or Miss Missouri's OT! I am so excited to be able to hang out with my friends from last year at state, and to make new ones! :) State will be here before we know it.

Miss Northeast Counties Pageant

I enjoyed watching my little sister compete at the Miss Northeast Counties pageant. She was competing in the pre-teen division and won first runner-up! I am so proud of her! :) I would also like to congratulate the new Miss Northeast Counties title holders!

Pancakes for a great cause

Pancake Day, Feb 28, I participated in National Pancake Day at the local IHOP, along with Seanica Reineke, Miss St Joseph, and Darby Furhman, Miss Mark Twainn Lake. Free pancakes are offered for a donation to CMN.

Super Science Saturday

St Joseph Museums, Inc. and MWSU hosted Super Science Saturday the day before the Super Bowl. This year saw a record breaking crowd of over a thousand!
The day is to introduce youth to lots of kinds of science, so it involves chemistry, biology, etc. Some of the fun included hovercrafts, reptiles, and fossils. Even a disected pig.
It has to be one of my favorite appearances, where else can you have a snake draped over your face?!

Miss Northwest/Maryville Pageant

Also this weekend, I got to watch the Miss Northwest pageant. This was the first pageant that I competed at, only a short year ago. I am amazed at what I have learned this past year. Congratulations to all the winners, I enjoyed watching the pageant and visiting with the other title holders in attendance. The Miss contestants are all role models.

Farm Show!

This weekend I met up with the St. Joesph title holders to hang out at the Farm Show in St. Joseph. We were hosted by Perka Building's booth. While we were at the show we greeted many people while we learned about farm equipment. Patricia, Miss Midland Empire's OT, who is from ST. Louis, was amazed by the size of the tractor tires. Seanica, Miss St. Joseph, had a great time because it was right up her alley, since she is a content editor for the National Association of Agriculure Broadcasting.

CANstruct

Last weekend, I had a BLAST building a radio station out of cans to help local food pantries and Habitat for Humanity. The cans that we were building with went to Second Harvest in St. Joseph. There were nine teams and each team benefited a different food pantry. I helped out with two shifts, each shift was one hour long. You could only work one hour at a time, then other team members had to work on it before you could help again. I volunteered on the Eagle Radio Team. It was held at the mall, and passersby could monetarily vote on their favorite. Around 10 thousand dollars was raised.
