2017-2018 Warrens Cranberry Festival Royalty June Update

Royal Greetings! 

We are supper excited to share the latest events we have attended since our last update. 

On May 27, we attended the Arcadia Broiler Days Parade. When we arrived at the fest grounds we joined the other royalty for a group picture. It was an extremely hot day so we ate our snacks in the suburban to cool off before the parade. The parade ride lasted about a half hour and the sun was very hot so we made sure to take water with us. After the parade we stopped for cool and refreshing Minute Maid Slushies. Despite the heat we had a great time. 

On May 28, we took part in the Memorial Day services at Warren Mills Cemetery. We passed out programs to the attendees. Princesses Hannah and Lauren did the laying of the wreath and Queen Tatianna read Logan’s Orders. After the ceremony we went to the Log Building and enjoyed a delicious Chicken-Q. Our final stop was the Pine Grove Cemetery where we each read a poem for the ceremony. We had a great day honoring the fallen.

June 2nd was a busy day. We started out that morning at the Monroe County Dairy Breakfast on a farm by Kendall. They served eggs, pancakes, cheese, toast, cookies, coffee cake and Culver’s custard. It was all very delicious! Everyone at the event was super friendly and we took lots of pictures. The petting zoo was a big hit with everyone. 

After the Dairy Breakfast we headed to West Salem for their Dairy Days Parade. The parade went well with lots of cheery smiling faces waving back at us. We lucked out as the rain held off until after the parade. 

Later that night we attended the Miss Sparta Pageant. All the contestants did very well as they competed for the tittles of Miss Sparta and Miss Sparta Outstanding Teen. The new Miss Sparta is Emily Phillips and Miss Outstanding Teen is Jenna Martin. It was a long day but a very enjoyable one. 

On June 10, we attended the Sparta Butterfest. We attended the Royalty Tea and handed out our new buttons and visited with all the other royalty. We gathered for a large group picture by the Ben Bikin Statue. It was cool and cloudy but the rain held off for the parade and everyone was in good spirits. After the parade we went to the fest grounds and enjoyed a few of the rides before heading home. 

We hope you enjoyed our adventures as much as we have! 

Yours Truly,
