I was SO excited to be crowned the 2012-2013 NAM Miss Minnesota Preteen Queen! I am the perfect example of never giving up on your dreams because I had tried to win the state title with them for NINE fun-filled years. I had been in their Queen's Court before, but never a State Queen. I could not believe my ears when I heard my name called! Tears started streaming down my face.
A really cool thing about NAM is that all of the contestants are asked to donate a book or a stuffed animal when they check in at the pageant. Then, whoever wins the crown gets to donate all of the items to the organization of her choice. I had a packed car loaded FULL of books and bears!
NAM encourages their Queens to get involved with community service. But the Queens are also able to do parades and fun appearances as well, and it has been a blast!
This page shows some of the non-community service appearances in which I've had the honor of being involved.
