Let the crownings begin...

I just got back to the Holiday Inn after tonight's Teen pageant, and we have an early morning tomorrow... so this will be quick!

Congratulations (!!!) to Miss Minnesota's Outstanding Teen 2007, Chantal Wilson! She's a fantastic pianist from Greenbush, MN, and she's looking forward to an exciting year promoting her platform of Literacy.

no, not all Minnesotans are blonde. just a lot of us.

I think she missed the instructions to make a silly face...

Lacey, Danielle, Kasandra, Mackenzie, Cindy, Kathryn, Cori, Tina, Lauren

(me = giant in the back row)

Karissa, Meghan, Liz, Amanda, Colleen, Jennifer

The adventure continues tomorrow with Preliminary Competition for Miss Minnesota. The contestants have their personal interviews starting at 9:30am (hence the early morning... it may not sound early, but once you factor in hair, makeup, wardrobe, breakfast, and travel time [potentially with traffic]... you get the idea). The show begins at 7pm... be there!

Good night to all :)
