I started the day by attending the “Still Cruisin’ Car Show!”
Not only did I get to see some pretty sweet rides, but I also was able to have
a “meet Miss Baxter” booth. On my breaks from walking around and checking out
the cars I was busy at my booth signing autographs and promoting my platform
while raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network by selling my
personalized bookmarks!

Next up was the Railroad Day’s Parade! I’ve attended this
parade every year with my family since I was very little, so it was very fun
for me to be riding in the parade for a change. This event always draws a big
crowd with lots of kids… I love seeing the little girls who do their “princess”
waves, and then smile big when I wave back at them! I want to thank my Miss
Brainerd Lakes/Baxter Pageant sponsors from Thrivent Financial (aka Aunt Kay and
Uncle Bob) for chauffeuring me through the parade in an awesome Ford Mustang!
Today was a great day in Staples Minnesota; I got to see some awesome cars and I
even snagged some parade candy!

I have more exciting platform news! My article on National
Literacy Month was published by the Brainerd Dispatch! In honor of back to
school and the upcoming National Literacy Month which takes place in September I
composed an article regarding the importance of children’s literacy and how
parents and adults can get involved to help their kids learn and grow! Check it
out!
It was nice to come home from school for the weekend, and I’m
glad that I had the opportunity to represent Baxter at another event. Now it’s
back to school for me again; I’m all settled in to my dorm and ready for
classes to start on Monday. Wish me luck!
Yours truly,
Maren Goff
Miss Baxter 2012
Ps. Though I was not able to attend the Miss Waseca County
Sleigh and Cutter and Miss South Central Pageant I would like to congratulate and
welcome Drew Trahms Miss Waseca County Sleigh and Cutter, and Tiffany Buszta to
the Miss Minnesota Class of 2013! Can’t wait to meet you girls!
It has been a custom for winning beauty queens to become a part of prestigious car shows and parades like these. Car shows are events that usually catch numerous audiences, which is a very good place to have a fund raising activity. Anyway, you’ve had a very productive day, Maren, I’m sure the people enjoyed having you around, and that you had one of the most memorable experiences ever. Good for you!

What better way to chauffer you through a pageant than with a Ford Mustang? =D Well, it does give the passenger an attention-grabbing grand entrance. It’s smooth on the road, and it’s one of the most well-know convertibles. That’s why they often use this kind in parades.
