Holiday Extravaganza!!

                                                I love reindeer!!
                         I made a new friend while we made glitter pinecones!

                                                Another redhead!
                             What is Christmas without silly balloon hats?!!


I want one!!

                             Waiting for the ribbon ceremony to begin!
                  I watch Andrew Humphries every morning give the weather report! He was very funny and I truly enjoyed his company!!



                          Two of my favorite people! Santa & Mrs Claus!
                  This is by far the presttiest float in the whole parade!



Gotta love these guys!!

       Last year, when I was Miss Oakland County, I rode in this beautiful sleigh!
                            This year I rode in this gorgeous silver Saab sponsored by LaFountain of Highland, MI! They were wonderful to help me out!!
               My own personal chauffer and best parade driver . . . my dad!!




On Saturday December 3rd I had the honor to be in the Pontiac Holiday Extravaganza for the second year in a row!!! This is always one of my favorite events to participate in, especially when I have a chance to hang out with the kids before the parade fun starts! The children met before the parade at a crafts event where they made all kinds of Christmas items from decorating cookies, to decorated pinecones, doorhangers, reindeer made from clothespins and the like! I met so many wonderful people and reconnected with old friends! I love being able to promote the Miss America Organization, not only by speaking about it to others, but being involved in the community and volunteering with several different organizations! A very special thank you to Linda from the Genysis Credit Union that sponsored the wonderful parade!! If it were not for you, Linda, and all of your hard work this parade wouldn't be as fantastic as it is because of your love and passion! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me be in the parade again this year! You're the best!! :)
