Hey everyone! My next adventure didn’t take me too far away from home…just to Coon Rapids, in my neighbor state of Minnesota! I took a quick flight to Minneapolis, then met Ms. Roberta, Katlyn Ziegler (Miss Minnesota’s Outstanding Teen) ’s mom! She drove us to McCormick and Schmick’s, a really good seafood restaurant! When we arrived, I met Kate, and one of the volunteers of the Miss Coon Rapids Organization, Ms. Lisa! When we sat down to eat, we discovered another surprise. Katlyn’s dad, who is a manager of the restaurant, had my name printed on all the menus with a little message! It was so cool, and a really good welcoming gift into Coon Rapids! After a delicious dinner, we headed to the Miss Coon Rapids pageant rehearsal, where I met Ms. Diane Bustza, the director of the pageant, as well as Miss Coon Rapids, Heather Erickson! They were both so sweet, and after meeting them and the contestants, I knew it was going to be a great pageant, and a great stay!
After rehearsal, all of Kate’s family, Ms. Dianne and I went bowling! It was really fun! Although I’m not much of a bowler, I gave it my best shot and ended up with a high score of…76 (hey, quit laughing!!!)
After rehearsal, we all headed to Kate’s house, where I met her two adorabke dogs! It was a late night, so we all headed to bed early!
XOXO,
Jeanette
