Tis the Season: Bell Ringing and Nisswa City of Lights

Happy Holidays! I'm so happy to be able to ring in the season with snowfall, hot coco, and classic Christmas tunes! After enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving at home with my family I was able to kick off the Christmas season with Salvation Army Bell Ringing and the Nisswa City of Lights celebration!

On the Friday after Thanksgiving I decided to skip the black Friday chaos and trade in the customary shopping bags for a bell! Along with my mother I spent the first portion of my day bell ringing for the Salvation Army in front of the Baxter Cub Foods grocery store. It was great to spend some quality time with my mom while doing some good for the community.




After bell ringing, I headed over to one of my favorite little towns Nisswa, Minnesota to celebrate the City of Lights! Nisswa City of Lights in an annual Christmas lighting ceremony where the whole town; buildings, streetlights, fences, and even trees light up the town after dark. I helped kick off the evening by selling blinky necklaces in support of the Nisswa Chamber of Commerce along with fellow royalty, Nisswa Princess Claire Erholtz and Little Miss Nisswa Carly Maine. I had such a great time braving the cold windy weather with these girls, we had a blast catching up as we roamed around town selling our lights…we even had time to duck inside and grab a cup of hot apple cider! Thanks for a great evening girls!
