Hi! Well, after all the rehearsals and preparation, the Miss Coon Rapids was today! But not before a few more fun events 
After waking up and getting ready, we headed over to the Coon Rapids High School Auditorium to begin the Junior Royalty pageant rehearsal! I was so excited to be able to help with the pageant. All of the kids were so cute and they all were just there to have a good time!!!
After rehearsal, we grabbed some lunch and the pageant began. Kate played the piano beautifully, and was able to talk about her platform concerning therapy dogs! She was amazing! I also got to sing Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb” and be interviewed. My hardest question: How do you feel about Brett Favre playing for the Vikings? (Actually, it was easy, since I’m a TOTAL Vikings fan!!!!) The pageant ended with our new Junior Royalty and lots of very happy kids who had a great time (I was one of those kids 
)
We didn’t have much time afterwards, but we did have time to stop at the silent auction and grab a snack in time for the dress rehearsal for the Miss Coon Rapids Pageant. I was really sad, I had already become really close to Heather (Miss Coon Rapids 2009) and I wish I could have stayed longer! But I knew that one of the young ladies’s lives would have been changed forever, and I was so excited for that girl!
The pageant began, and Kate once again wowed the crowd with her piano piece! Then Heather played her violin, and it was beautiful. It was a tough act to follow, but I managed to hammer out my song again, which I loved! It was great and ended with the crowning of the new Miss Coon Rapids, Allison Lordbock. Congrats, Allison!
XOXO,
Jeanette
