Weekend Winners

This past weekend was filled with several new representatives for Wisconsin. I would like all of you to know that I am proud of each of you. Miss Western Wisconsin, Miss Wisconsin West, Miss Midwest, Miss Beloit, and Miss Mississippi Valley were all crowned on Saturday.

I had the opportunity to travel to Beloit to see Sara take on the Miss Beloit title. She was one of eleven to compete. Sara also won the talent award and was voted Miss Congeniality. Congratulations to all of the young women who competed. What is important for everyone to remember is that we do not determine our success based on whether we win the title or not, but rather on how we handle ourselves and what we take from each experience. I learned some of the most important lessons from not winning.

Marci, I would like to sincerely congratulate you on your accomplishment. I am very proud of you. Marci and I had the opportunity to become really good friends because we held titles together last year. She was Miss West Allis and I was Miss New Berlin. Marci will be returning to Miss Wisconsin this summer. The best of luck to you with all of your future endeavors.
As March almost comes to a close, we have only a few more representatives that need to be chosen. To everyone, good luck in your preparations!!
