Mankato Senior Expo 2009 Kelsey Did Shine!

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!

Miss Mankato 2009 and Miss Mankato's director are quite the networking duo!!! We scored big for our local program and the Miss MN program!

Nothing but excellent comments came our way...here are a few, and I mean just a few, there were so many more!

" Miss Mankato you are so beautiful"

"Congratulations to you"

" We would like you to speak to our program"

"We could have her on WCCO when she wins the title of Miss MN...actually we would like to have her on WCCO very soon!"

" We need you to speak to our finance educational department"

"The Alltell Center is so happy Miss Mankato is here"

" Our financial group would be very interested in connecting you with our finance programs"

"Mankato is lucky to have such a excellent representative"

" We have Miss America at our Senior Expo?" ... No but close!

" I enjoyed seeing Miss Mankato because we hear so much about on the radio stations!"

THANKS KELSEY ! YOU ARE A EXCELLENT REPRESENT IVE FOR MANKATO AND THE MISS AMERICA ORGANIZATION.

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!
