GREAT JOB GIRLS !!!

I AM SOOO VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU !!!

I had the great priviledge of working with 3 other coaches and being the Head Coach for this team of 13 amazing little girls! They had a long season learning cheers, dances and lots of things about teamwork and good sportsmanship. They became a little family and I am so very proud of them - you girls are the BEST!!

Milford Pumpkin Festival

Milford Pumpkin Festival

Milford, NH

October 10 - 12, 2008

I had the wonderful opportunity of being involved with the Milford Pumpkin Festival as Mrs. New Hampshire International! Mother Nature was sure good to everyone because it was during one of the nicest fall weekends in New England!

One of the events I was involved with was the Talent Show. On October 4th, 2008, I was one of 5 judges that judged the "preliminary talent show auditions". On October 11th, 2008 I, along with Mrs. NH ~ America, made an appearance at the Pumpkin Festival to sign autographs and take pictures. We had so much fun and everyone was having a great time! We met some wonderful people that day and some rather friendly ones as well ~ HA HA!! That evening, the Talent Show Finale took place at the Amato Center in Milford, NH at 8pm. It was an amazing night that brought lots of local talent to the theater to compete for the 1st, 2nd, Jr winner and audience favorite winner to the stage! It was a fantastic show that encompassed song, dance, bands and other incredible talent!

Is my "Amazing" photographer, Robert Daniel, incredible or what? Now that's a great Pumpkin shot!!

Signing autographs for some beautiful little girls!
