Miss Baxter 2012!: Miss Frazee Pageant, and the Fair!

Time really does fly when you’re having fun…and with all the fun that I’ve been having I have to ask myself where the summer has gone? It’s hard to believe that it’s already August; but with August comes the Crow Wing County Fair!

Before I get ahead of myself I have to start with July 28^th, the Miss Frazee Pageant! This was such a nice event, and it was very fun to get to meet even more local title holders. I was able to chat with the new Miss Thief River Falls Bailey Sorvig…what an awesome girl! One thing that I really love about this program is the sense of sisterhood that allows young women like me from all over the state of Minnesota to come together and build friendships and connections. I’m so excited to get to know all of the girls in the Miss Minnesota class of 2013! I want to congratulate Rebecca Bellefeuille the new Miss Frazee, and Becca Sorlien-Riewer the new Miss Frazee’s Outstanding Teen, awesome job ladies! Hats off to the outgoing queens Katie Ann Winter and Hailey Jutz; best wishes on all of your future endeavors, you ladies are great!

Congrats to Miss Frazee's Outstanding Teen 2012 Becca Sorlien-Riewer!

Miss Frazee 2012! Congratulations Rebecca!

Tuesday July 31^st was the first day of the Crowing County Fair! This is the fair’s 115^th year, and whether you want to ride your way through the midway or eat your way through the food booth, the Crow Wing County Fair offers fun for the whole family! On our first day Heather and I were able to spend some time with the Minnesota State Honey Queen Emily Campbell; we had a good time roaming around and chatting to fair goers as we tried to beat the heat! That evening we had the opportunity to speak to the crowd at the grandstand during the intermission of the demo derby! After introducing ourselves and speaking about our platforms and our experiences we were back to greeting the public! (We may have sampled a few cheese curds also!)

Today was the second day of the fair! This evening Heather and I were able to assist with the Pig Races. The LA Pig Races came to the fair this year all the way from the small town of Leader Minnesota! Earlier this summer I was able to see my first pig race along with all of the other Miss Brainerd/Miss Baxter contestants; we had so much fun, that today I was eager to help with this event. Tonight the show consisted of several races, lots of games for the kids, and as always some good upbeat country tunes! Heather and I handed out beads and prizes to the kids and helped with the games! After the Pig Races I was able to watch my other sister queen Savannah perform in a 1970s themed 4H skit; awesome job Savannah!
