9/12/26 Today I had the privilege of volunteering at the Veterans Appreciation Picnic Lunch at the American Legion Post 65. Thank you Sharon for the invitation. I am so thankful for all these men and women who served our country. It was humbling to hear their stories. Thank you again for your service.

9/5/26 I volunteered at the Bakersville Tractor Pulls. The bonus was I got to work the snow cone table with my daughter, Queen Ella.

9/6/26 I had fun at Queen Zoe’s Neon Glow luncheon at Killbuck today. It was great making some new friends, sitting with Gineva WinterFest & chatting with others I’ve known since 2018. I won a fall gift basket today. Thank you to all those who made this luncheon possible. It’s always enjoy going to KEAD.

8-15-26 Today’s second event was full of music! I had the joy of attending the Newark Maennerchor’s Ox Roast. There were several singing groups, yummy German food, a band, and a yodeling club that performed. They had bounce houses for kids & glitter tattoos for anyone. They also had a yodeling contest, that I was honored to judge. I enjoyed sharing about AmeriFest and also announcing the yodeling contest winners.

8-15-26 I had a great time at the Reynoldsburg Tomato Festival today. It was wonderful to see my Queen friends & meet some new friends. The food was yummy & the friendships will last a lifetime with great memories.

8-3-26 I had an amazing day at The Ohio State Fair! My kids enjoyed riding rides, touring The Ohio State University through a VR, playing Ga Ga Ball, rock climbing, & playing in a corn pit. I enjoyed talking to people about AmeriFest, sharing my platform, meeting 2 other queens, seeing a few friends from my time in the All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir, getting ice cream at the Dairy Barn, seeing the butter cows, riding the carousel, and walking through the new buildings at the fair. We wanted to do more, but ran out of time. They say time flies when you’re having fun. Our day definitely flew by way too fast & was full of fun!

7-28-26 Today I donated my 40th unit of blood! If you haven’t donated recently, I highly recommend it. You too can make a difference & help save lives by donating.

7-26-26 On our way home from our family reunion in Delphi, IN, we stopped by the James Dean Museum to take some pictures.

7/23/26 I enjoyed watching the West Lafayette Homecoming Queen Contest.since I am not able to attend Audrey’s luncheon, I wanted to go support her & the other contestant. .
