Mankato Senior Expo was Tuesday May 19th. Kelsey charmed the hearts of many of southern Minnesota's senior population and many expo vendors. She was having so much fun she stayed a few hours longer!

Viva Las Vegas! M.A.C.S. NITE style!














































M.A.C.S. Nite was so much fun! Kelsey got a taste of Las Vegas so she will be ready for the real deal! All our sponsors and supporters came out for a night of fun and entertainment. Kelsey performed her Miss MN talent but no pictures allowed until Miss MN! She met many new people and saw many friends of the Miss Mankato Program, played heads or tails, then danced for everyone! Elvis needed to leave to perform in St.Paul but stayed to watch Kelsey's talent. Boogie Wonderland rocked the house too! Thanks to Jennifer( she performed last year as Miss MN and M.AC.S. had many requests for her return this year) she co hosted with Brad & Sarah and Nicole( this pasts years Miss Mankato Judge)
Thanks to All our Miss Mankato Scholarship supporters for helping make M.A.C.S. Nite a such a success!

A.B.A.T.E. Hot Dog Fundraiser was HUGE!


















Thank you to A.B.A.T.E. for allowing the Miss Mankato Scholarship Program to feed your group after your annual parade on Saturday,May 1st. In less than 40 minutes we served over 210 Hot Dogs! The weather was perfect!

Thank to my mom Sandy, my son Jackson, his friends Joe, Josh, and Justin,and this years Miss Mankato judge Troy and his wife Lori for all the help! We were a little worried when the motorcycles started rolling in...it looked like 500 bikers and we did not want to run out of hot dogs! We made it and even had a few left overs for us workers!!!

Looking forward to next year already!
