Last night was the ribbon cutting for The Salon at High Street Village. It's such a lovely salon with everything you could need for beauty! I highly recommend you check it out!

 Cindy Strong was so kind and such a wonderful hostess. I had a lot of fun talking with everyone and seeing all the products and styling tools they offer at the salon. I even left with some goodies of my own!

Lakeport Lighted Christmas Parade

Oh my we were busy on Saturday! Our first stop was Santa's Workshop where Santa was taking pictures with the kids! We passed out maps for the elf on the shelf hunt. The game is for families to go into local business's along Main Street and find the elf hidden on the shelf! They have to find the elf on each store listed and have it signed off by an employee. After all of the stores are checked off, the card goes into a drawing for prizes!

 Kelseyville High School's Miss Bass Bowl 2012 Maleah joined us for the lighted parade as well. After all the meeting and greeting, we worked up an appetite! We went to Cheese's Main Street Pizza in Lakeport.

Yum Pizza!

Then it was time to get ready for the parade. We went into Prisco Clothing on Main Street to change in the dressing rooms. The owner of the store showed us the catalogs of gowns that she can special order. We know where we're going for our state competition wardrobe!

A big thank you goes out to Jeff Hansen and his wife of the Corvette Club for driving us in the lighted parade. It was so much fun meeting everyone and climbing into some beautiful cars!

Miss Marin County 2013 Pageant

On November 12, 2012 Miss Marin County was crowned. 

This was my first pageant as a visiting titleholder and it was a very new experience. It was great to meet all the current titleholders and chat with them. Everyone was so kind.

Tony brought us onstage and asked us each a question about our platforms or what our favorite appearance has been.

Miss Lake County 2012 Jennifer Humble attends Dominican College and competed for the Miss Marin title. It was a lot of fun to cheer on one of my friends and watch her earn more scholarship money!

Jennifer placed first runner up, Congrats Jen!

The new Miss Marin County is Paige Shaw and Miss Marin County's Outstanding Teen is Perry Borders. Congratulations girls! See you at Miss California in June!

McBoo Night

Every Halloween, Pat and John Norcio (owners of McDonalds in Lakeport) throw a costume contest for kids. There were so many amazing costumes!

Siblings with homemade costumes. So beautiful!

I had so much fun with the kids passing out candy and leading one of the groups in a costume parade.

 

I even met some lovely princesses!

These girls were so sweet and we had a great talk about what it means to be a princess.

A big thank you goes out to the Norcio's for inviting me to celebrate with them!

I had so much fun taking a tour of the "castle" and meeting many faculty members and the President of Marymount College.

And of course, the night wouldn't be complete without doing a raffle ticket drawing.

  

Trick-or-Treat on Main Street

Trick-or-Treat!

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I love dressing up as something else! This year was very different because instead of passing out candy at home, I was hanging out with kids and judging a costume contest. The Main Street Association puts on "Trick-or-Treat on Main Street" every year. This year it was held October 30th. Participating businesses on Main Street hand out candy to all dressed up children. It's a fun community event that I was part of this year!

This years Bass Bowl Queens and I had the chance to be judges for the costume contest held at Meuseum Park in Lakeport. Judging is so hard when all the kids and families look so great! My favorite outfits are the handmade ones or very intricate makeup.

An amazing handmade first place costume!

There were so many amazing outfits and makeup this year! Sawna, Maleah and I had so much fun interacting with everyone and handing out prizes for best costumes.

Thank you Lyle (Owner of Lakeport Party Store) for inviting us to be a part of the festivities!
