Last night was the Sweeps Pageant where the last two titles of the Miss Minnesota class of 2012 were crowned. Before the pageant my family, my wonderful Miss Coon Rapids directors, and I went to dinner. It was so nice to see so many current and past local title holders there supporting the pageant. I thought it was funny to see all of us Polar Plungers a few hours later all dolled up. We are good at what we do because we can jump into a frozen lake in the afternoon and then get all dressed up by the evening. At the end of the night Miss City of Lakes and Miss West Metro were crowned. Congratulations to Miss City of Lakes 2012 Brittany Tischmak and Miss West Metro 2012 Bethany Beniek. I am looking forward to a wonderful week at Miss Minnesota with all of these amazing and talented title holders.
