Royal Greetings!
We are excited to share the latest events we have attended since our last update.
On June 16, we started off our day by attending the Jessie Parker Run/Walk in Tomah. We had an enjoyable time visiting with the participants and served beverages to the attendees. Later in the day we headed to Oshkosh for the Miss Wisconsin pageant. We loved watching all the semi-finalists perform their talents and looking at all the gorgeous evening gowns. It was exciting watching as Miss Wood, Violet Tianna Vanderhei was crowned the new Miss Wisconsin. It was a late night at getting back home but well worth it!
On June 17, we traveled to Wisconsin Rapids for the Cranberry Blossom Days Parade. We parked on the street in front of a very nice lady’s house named Marian. She and her daughter gave us refreshing cold water to drink. Marian will soon turn 99 years old, many thanks to their wonderful hospitality! The parade was very hot and sunny but we still had a great time.
On June 30, we went to the Wetherby Cranberry Marsh for Cranberry Blossom Days. Marsh tours were available and we each prepared a cranberry item for our food demo along with the Wisconsin Honey Queen. Everyone enjoyed our refreshing treats as it was very warm outside. Afterwards we traveled over to the Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center to try their new cranberry ice cream flavors. We recommended a few of our favorites to the Honey Queen. What a delightful way to end our day!
On July 4th we attended the parade in Tomah. We took pictures with Little Miss Tomah and we enjoyed waving to a lot of familiar faces along the parade route. Following the parade we headed up to Warrens for their 150th celebration. We enjoyed delicious food and helped by selling sesquicentennial buttons. Lauren and I (Tatianna) participated in the pie eating contest. It’s safe to say we weren’t close to winning but still had a lot of fun doing it. After the contest we visited the stage coach area and we were put into jail for having too much fun! Later we watched the lumber jack show, which was very entertaining. It was an enjoyable day celebrating the 4th of July and Warrens Sesquicentennial.
On July 8th we took our float to New Lisbon for the Wa Du Shuda Days Parade. The parade theme was “Cavemen & Dinosaurs” so we decorated our float with dinosaurs and palm trees. Our parents dressed up in dinosaur and cave people costumes, it was very entertaining. After the parade we had a caricature drawing done of the three of us. We had a really fun time!
We hope you enjoyed our adventures as much as we have!
