Miss NH's Outstanding Teen Tea Party

On Sunday I attended the Miss NHOT Tea Party to support Kenya Welch, MNHOT 2013! This is such a huge fundraiser for the teen program. I prepared and donated mini Chocolate Raspberry Trifles (yum!) and sang Reflection during the program. It was such a fun day!

February Updates!

Wow -- February absolutely flew by! I have certainly been busy...

 



I participated in IHOP's National Pancake Day for Children's Miracle Network in Salem with Miss Monadnock Region, Jill Granucci. We had a blast visiting with all of the patrons and encouraging donations! CMNH is the national charity of the Miss America Organization and I always enjoy volunteering for this amazing program.

The weekend of February 16 and 17 was very busy but so much fun! My first stop on Saturday was the Frost Festival in Derry. I had the chance to perform Reflection and Somewhere Over the Rainbow for the children who were in attendance and visit with all the kids!

Then, I was off to Miss New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen. On Saturday, there were two preliminary competitions: one for Group A and one for Group B. Emily, MGDOT, competed in the first preliminary show and I'm sure I was more nervous than she was. She was absolutely amazing in all parts of the competition and I am so proud of her!

 

I bundled up for a snowy Sunday afternoon at Frost Festival. This time, I was able to help out with face painting and crown the Frost Festival King and Queen. It was such a fun event!

With the Frost Festival King and Queen. Congratulations!

 

Finals of Miss NH's Outstanding Teen immediately followed. The show was so exciting! Each and every one of the young ladies competing did such an amazing job representing themselves, their schools, and their local chapters. Girls, if you're reading this, you should all be so proud of yourselves! It takes so much courage to get on that stage at such a young age and I loved watching you all shine. Emily made the Top 10 at Sunday's show!!! I was jumping up and down and may have lost my voice from cheering her on. Congratulations to Kenya Welch, the new Miss New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen!
