Hometown Fun!

 Bass Bowl III

Friday October 26th was the big Bass Bowl football game between Kelseyville High and Clear Lake High. I attended this fun event to support the schools and see who the trophy was going home with. There were so many people attending and I had a great time rooting on the teams!

Lakeport Speedway

 On Saturday night I attended the last night of racing for the season at Lakeport Speedway. I received the chance to sing the National Anthem for the opening of the races. I'm always so happy to perform there because everyone is so sweet and supportive at our local speedway.

I started off getting a ride in the Cadillac equipped with shooting flames that is in all our local parades. Pat the driver was so silly and told lots of jokes.

After I got to the front of the crowd, the announcer read a short bio of who I am and what I do. It was fun to hear the crowd cheer me on before I even started!  

After performing the National Anthem, I was honored with the Makenna Rose Enger National Anthem Award of Appreciation. I'm so blessed to live in such a kind and supportive community!

 I had so much fun signing autographs for children and taking lots of pictures. Overall, it was a very rewarding night. 

I even got to watch the boat races! For those of you that are not familiar with the boat races at the Lakeport Speedway, it's a hilarious high energy demolition race. The track is watered and soaped up before the race. Vehicles with old boats attached are lined up on the track and told to race and destroy other peoples boats. There are crashes among the vehicles and boat debris everywhere at the end. It's a lot of fun!

Pear Festival and Bass Bowl Pageant

I've been putting this off far too long.

Pear Festival

On Saturday September 29th was the Pear Festival! I got the chance to appear in the parade with my wonderful driver Bill in his beautiful car. It was a different experience than my first parade because there was so many more spectators and parade entries. I had a hard time waving to both sides of the street without looking silly. People continually wave at me in the typical pageant wave and ask me to wave back. I always get a laugh out of it!

2012 Bass Bowl Pageant

Sunday October 14th, we crowned the new Bass Bowl Queens and Kings. This year was different from last year because we crowned the kings too!

The Bass Bowl was created to raise money for Clear Lake High School and Kelseyville High School athletics. These 2 schools have been rivals for decades. The Bass Bowl is the football game between these schools and brings along school spirit and community involvement. Last year CLHS took home the trophy which stands tall in the office of the school.

The Bass Bowl Pageant was created for students of the schools to earn scholarship money while having fun and being introduced to the pageant world. Last year, I competed in the pageant as an alumni and won the CLHS title. It was a lot of fun to support my old high school!

This year, as Miss Lake County, I had the pleasure of being a judge for this show. It was so different being on the other side to judge rather than be judged. I enjoyed judging because I know how scary it is to get up in front of a crowd and perform. All the kids who competed blew me away and were so hilarious!

All the judges for the night

We had a few special guest entertainers there such as K-Town and my sweet teen Julie Ann Mather. The night was filled with laughs and lots of fun. The Bass Bowl Committee raised money for each of the schools athletics and at the end of the night, voting closed for the "Kiss My Bass" Fundraiser. Rob Ishihara, the coach of Kelseyvilles football team, had to kiss a small bass caught from our very own Clear Lake.

Rob as he kisses the fish!

The winners were finally announced afterwards. The winning king and queen for KHS are Johnmark and Maleah. The winning king and queen of CLHS are Brandon and Shawna. Congrats to the winners who will receive scholarship money for school!
