Metrodome

On Wednesday March 14th, I had the opportunity to sing the National Anthem at the Metrodome! It was for a men's Gopher baseball game.  The Metrodome is by far the largest venue I have ever sang at.  I have had the opportunity to sing in many different places, but never one this big.  There was such an echo in the building while I was singing that I actually heard myself about 2 seconds after I had sang so it was a little confusing, but I got through it.

Now I can say that I sang at the Metrodome, do you think the Vikings will let me sing for them now?! Cross your fingers :-)

After singing at the Metrodome I worked on my talent peice for Miss Minnesota and had the opportunity to record it with A.K. Productions.  Honestly ladies if you need help with your talent piece, or need a new track for your song, Andy Karg does some amazing work! Contact him at andy.karg@gmail.com

Miss Minnesota workshop is rapidly approaching and any spare minute I have at home I am on my computer.  I also receieved an e-mail from the state board with our new opening number dresses, honestly they get better every year! I can't wait to parade around in our opening number dresses this year! SO CUTE!

And so it begins...

On March 3rd I had the opportunity to compete within the "Sweeps" pageant where I was honored to be awarded the title of Miss West Metro 2012.  Miss Minnesota week is rapidly approaching and I love documenting all my appearances within a blog for not only everyone to read and get to know me better, but also for myself so that I can remember everything 50 years from now.  It's kind of like an online diary :-)

A huge congratulations to my new sister queen, Brittany Tischmack, the newly crowned Miss City of Lakes 2012 and to every young woman who has been given a local title this year.  I look forward to getting to know all the contestants during Miss Minnesota week.

And so the blogging begins, please stay tuned as I will be adding photos and insights on anything and everything Miss Minnesota! The workshop for Miss Minnesota is already on March 31st! I am working diligently on trying to get all my paperwork tweeked and done on time. 

I will be singing the National Anthem at the Metrodome for a Gopher baseball game on Wednesday March 14th at 3:00pm.  I would love to see you there if you can make it!

Always,
