FM Holiday Parade of Lights

Happy Turkey Day! I want to thank my friends, family, pageant family, pets, and anyone else who has played a big or little part in my life and supported me through the years. I have been so blessed to have so many people by my side and teaching me from the very beginning of life.

Tuesday night was the Holiday Parade of Lights in downtown Moorhead and Fargo.  There were over 100 entrants in the parade that stretched from 11th St S and Center Ave in Moorhead to 6th Ave N and Broadway in Fargo.  The Moorhead pageant committee decorated a beautiful red truck in lights and two silver Christmas trees.  Miss Red River Valley's Outstanding Teen, Brianna Drevlow, rode with me through the parade enduring temperatures near zero degrees.  We each wrapped a blanket around our legs, wore scarfs, mittens, and snugged four blankets around our feet.  I had three layers underneath the blanket, mink coat, and boots!  By the end of the parade, my feet still froze even with all those layers.  Aside from the cold I had a great time!  The floats were so beautiful with all the fun lights, props, and decorations.  We saw the gingerbread man, elves, angels, snowmen, a penguin, and much more.  Here are some pictures from my experience.

NDSU Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser

It has been a little while since I have written a post, but things have been slower this month in the pageant world.  I have been keeping very busy with school as I am approaching the end of the semester!  I still stay involved with Habitat for Humanity with our weekly meetings.  Last night was Club NDSU night on campus.  Once a month Campus Attractions holds a free event on campus for students and another NDSU organization raises funds for their group.  They play music for dancing, give away prizes, provide food, and have several different games for the students to play.  My organization served "mocktails" to the students attending.  The purpose for this event is to provide a safe and fun environment while teaching students a valuable lesson.  Every time a student ordered a "mocktail" we swiped their student ID to keep track of how many drinks they had.  Then, Campus Attraction members calculated the amount of drinks each student had as if they actually had alcohol in them in order to estimate the student's blood alcohol level.  This way students can learn before it is too late to be safe if they decide to drink by calling a friend, a cab, or just being aware of how much they consume.  I wanted to share this with everyone because I think it is a great learning event for students and I hope more colleges provide opportunities like this one. 

Always,

Fargo Halloween Parade

Saturday night I attended the 2nd annual Halloween parade on Broadway in Fargo.  It was fun to see the kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes. Some of the costumes I saw were, Mario and Luigi, Spiderman, Batman, Avatar characters, and the good witch from the Wizard of Oz.  I dressed as a princess of course.  Despite the chilly air, the kids had a fun time with there friends catching candy and dressing up in there costumes more than one day.  My mom handed out my Dine to Donate flyers for my CMN fundraiser with Perkins along the route.  I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween weekend!

Always,
