Happy Halloween!

I would like too wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!! Recently I’ve attended the Huntingdon and Mount Union Halloween Parades which were both a lot of fun. I also attended the Captain Jack FFA Open House this past month where Mrs. Mowrer and Mrs. Forgy opened up the new and renovated Ag facilities to the public. They put on a nice little ceremony and sold mums and pumpkins in the new greenhouse, and of course Dairy Princess Krista Hawn and I’s favorite part, they had a ton of refreshments for afterwards. Krista and I also got the privilege of drawing the winning beef tickets that were sold for the Captain Jack members to go to National Convention in Indianapolis. It was a very fun night for public to come in and see the new facilities. I have also been busy scrap booking and working on everything for state pageant with my coordinators. The next stop on my “queen” adventure is Banquet Time! November 4th is the Fair Board Banquet and November 6th is the 4-H Banquet. So if you’re planning on coming to either of those banquets I can’t wait and I’ll see you there!



Until next time,

Events!

Wow have I been busy lately! From meetings to banquets to farm city days to 4-H clubs and to elementary school programs. Recently I attended the Raystown Rabbit Ranchers 4-H club, where I did a presentation on Farm Safety 4 Just Kids and asked about each of the members experience at the fair. Then it was off to Alexandria for a meeting with the Grange where I got to give a presentation and read my speech, as well as answer any questions that they had. After my presentation they presented me with a Pennsylvania Grange cookbook. Next stop was the Farm Bureau Banquet, where the Marklesburg Fire Company prepared a wonderful meal for us. Then 2 days later I was off too Harrisburg for Farm City Days. At Farm City Days, buses and buses of inner-city kids and home-schooled children come to the Farm Show Complex and experience "life on the farm for a day." There were 19 other fair queens there as long as many dairy princess'. Then this past Saturday I attended Brady-Henderson Elementary in Mill Creek for their Fall Bash. I had a display set up on Farm Safety 4 Just Kids there and got to play some games and activities with the children. It was a very fun day and it was a great fundraiser for the school.


So as you can see I've been keeping very busy lately with my queen duties, but I am enjoying every single second of it. I have got to make so many memories and meet so many awesome people already and I am only 2 months into my reign!


Also just another reminder that my coordinators and I are still looking for old past time pictures from the fair for my scrapbook for state pageant. Thank you to everyone that has already given me your pictures. I appreciate all your help.



Until next time.
