I have such a wonderful committee and I am beyond lucky to have so many of them take care of me when I come for appearances. Zayanne and Mark are the best hosts and they introduced me to a hidden sushi gem in Blaine. We ate so many fun and exciting things, including sea urchin!

The time is finally here... SNOWFLAKE DAYS! I am beyond excited for the next few weeks in the community. It is the 50th anniversary and I have the honor of taking part in all of the fantastic events! This was the first weekend of festivities and I am glad that the weather FINALLY cooperated so that I was able to make the drive from Moorhead. I have such a wonderful committee and I am beyond lucky to have so many of them take care of me when I come for appearances. Zayanne and Mark are the best hosts and they introduced me to a hidden sushi gem in Blaine. We ate so many fun and exciting things, including sea urchin! Here is a picture of the crazy sea creature that I had the opportunity to try... Saturday morning started bright and early with the Medallion Hunt. The Coon Rapids Fire Department was generous enough to provide hot chocolate and a warm area out of the chilly wind for all of the families. There were separate hunts for boys and girls and the winner received a certificate for a new bike. Despite the cold temperature, many children turned out for the event. The winners were very excited about their prize and the little boy who won even said he was planning on sharing his certificate with his brother, "who also tried hard," so that they could each have a bike. I was impressed with the kindness by all of the children. The next event of the day was the Sock Hop, sponsored by the Coon Rapids Junior Royalty. I always love opportunities to dress up and do some dancing! My mom is always a life saver and her crafty ability allowed me to have a new poodle skirt for the event. Brianna and I had a wonderful time, in our coordinating skirts, dancing and reliving our youth days during the hula hooping contests! My final event for the weekend was a guest appearance at the Bunker Hills golf tournament. I was initially confused by the idea of golfing in the snow, but it turns out that there is quite a unique set up for indoor golf through the use of simulators. It was so cool! There were four simulators set up that allowed you to choose any golf course in the world. I loved watching the players as they finished their final holes of the round. The winning duo was -21 below par, definitely a score I have never seen from myself on any golf course! To top off the night, I was able to see the amazing ice bar that has been built for Snowflake Days. It is made out of 23 ice blocks, each of which weighs about 300lbs! It was a magnificent sight!
