In 2013, I began my journey with the Miss America Organization as Miss Coon Rapids Outstanding Teen. In 2019 I returned and was honored to become Miss Coon Rapids. My hope was to bring the state crown home to the community where it all began! Fortunately, the Miss Minnesota competition week went very well for me! Now I believe it is fitting that I officially sign off as Miss Coon Rapids as I begin my year of service as Miss Minnesota 2019.
My 7-year journey would not have been possible without the guidance, love and support I received from the committee! I would like to thank my entire Coon Rapids Committee: Theresa Leggate, Mark and Zayanne Held, and Megan Ehlert, as you were my go-to family!! You helped me every step of the way leading to Miss Minnesota. I would also like to thank the amazing committee that without them, the program would not thrive as it does: Sue & John Leggate, Teda Staricha, Steven Leggate, Laurie Ehlert, Becky Orrock, Michelle Johnson, Michelle Kirchner, Marcie Carlson, hostesses, backstage crew, emcees, auditors, and every person that touched this program. Thank you.
It has been my greatest honor to serve your community for the past 6 months.
With a grateful heart,
Kathryn Kueppers
