We began our morning with interviews at two local radio stations, the B100 and Star 93.5, which is always a blast.
Later, we headed to Neil Armstrong Elementary to assist our current Miss Iowa, Anne Michael, with an all-school assembly. She does such a fantastic job with the students and incorportated a few of the contestants into her presentation to demonstrate the importance of getting involved in activities from athletics to music and other extra-curriculars to learn valuable life skills.
Then, I visited with a third and fifth grade classroom to share the book "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss and to deliver my Snacking Smart message with the students as well. I take full advantage of any opportunity to spread the word about my platform and the importance of healthy habits, and the students were very excited about the fresh fruit kabobs, banana freeze pops, and zucchini sticks, which are all included in the cookbook I wrote.
For lunch, we dined with the Bettendorf Rotary Club and had a chance to learn about what the organization does as well as hear more of the Miss Iowa contestants' talents and a presentation from Miss Iowa 2009.
This afternoon we transported all of our competition gear to the Adler Theater, where the Miss Iowa pageant will take place on Thursday and Saturday night. It felt so good to get settled in and see the stage; it looks beautiful!
We finished our day with dinner at Lancer's Grille in Eldridge and a dress rehearsal. Time for bed, though!
The part of competition I am most excited about - interview - is tomorrow. I absolutely cannot wait.
Hope to see you at the show tomorrow!
Jennifer
