In just 4 days, Julie and I will make the trip to Muskegon for the last time this year. On Saturday the contestants will arrive to compete for the title of Miss Michiga 2010. I'm happy to say that I feel like I am completly prepared, and so very excited to spend the week with such amazing women. After having met most of the girls vying for the title, I am glad to say that, each and every one of them is so deserving.
This past week I had the unique opportunity to spend time at CMU, volunteering with the Special Olympic Summer Games. My roommate for the weekend was Nicole, our current Miss Michigan. We had such a blast! Thursday we girls were invited to a VIP Reception in the Kelly/Shorts stadium, where we were fed very well (my favorite!), before making our way to the opening ceremony line up. Each girl was assigned to the group of athletes from her area of the state. Alexa Lalonde, Miss Stanton, and I were assigned to Area Six. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we were not the only 'celebrity' volunteers. The CMU football players were also volunteering their time!
It was great to have to opportunity to mingle with the athletes, and to meet some amazing people. It was so nice to attend an event where everyone is so welcoming and excited to have you there. Friday consisted of mingling with the athletes, handing out medals, and a huge autograph session. Then came my favorite part, the closing ceremony and dance for the athletes. The ceremony and dance were out in the stadium. It was so much fun dancing with everyone and giving out autographs!
Saturday was a parade in Carson City. And the next big event is Miss Michigan. Before I post photos, I would like to remind everyone of my Wardrobe Showing/ Send-Off Party at the Greenville Area Community Center on Thursday. 6:00 to 8:00 PM. I would love to see you all there!
