March 15th, The Mrs. Minnesota International Pageant

What an exciting pageant this was!! Mrs. Minnesota International 2009 is Tami Krause!! She is a former Mrs. Minnesota America and a choreographer for the Vikings Cheerleaders and Swarm Cheerleaders. 1st runner up was Angeline Gard for the second year in a row and 2nd runner up was Tamara Jett. All three had beautiful gold gowns on and did a beautiful job with their on-stage questions.
Other winners included Jessica Scheu, Miss Teen International 2009, whom I mock interviewed a month prior and Maddy Thoele, Miss Minnesota International 2009 who wore a stunning Sherri Hill gown from Sarah Moses. In fact, all three new title holders bought their gowns from The Pageant Shop in New Brighton.

Carl and Faith Schway and I sat together in the front row of the pageant. Formers Holly Ernst, Donnel Rank and reigning Susan Jackson from Wisconsin were all in attendance.
