As some of you may have heard Wadena, MN was hit with an F-4 Tornado on June 17th which happened to be the week of Miss Minnesota.
As I attended the 27th Annual Miss Wadena Pageant tonight I was inspired by the spirit of the community of Wadena. In midst of complete tragedy, they have bonded and become a stronger community than ever before. The pageant started with a slideshow of all the images that have been collected since the disaster. After it was finished the crowd erupted with applause.
The night was filled with fun. I was so impressed with the talent that there is in Wadena. The ladies did such a great job! From singers, to a hoop dancer, to a piano player there was not a dull moment. After intermission I introduced myself and invited everyone to Miss Moorhead and Miss RRV Outstanding Teen. If you were unaware the pageant will take place September 11, at Moorhead High! Hope to see you there. We had to stall a bit during the second half which allowed plenty of time for funny jokes, and the stage hands coming out to dance for us! Quite a few laughs!
Congrats to Miss Wadena Hanna Larson and her court! You ladies did a wonderful job. A huge round of applause for your community for bouncing back in midst of disater! Hanna, you have such an amazing community to represent. I give you my best wishes!
To the community of Wadena. I was so excited to see your spirits high! It was such an inspiring thing to see. My prayers are with you. May you continue to keep that optomistic attitude through all your hard work in cleaning up. Congrats on not giving up with the fair. I can't wait to see how strong your community will continue to be!
God bless!
