The wonderful month of May!

May was a fantastic month for everyone in the beautiful city of Kamloops! We started our duties right away this month, on May 1^st we had Boogie the Bridge at 8 am! All our candidates were there and we had a lot of fun cheering on the walkers and runners, and later had a nice picnic lunch until the candidates had to run to their first dance class, in preparation for their opening number on pageant night, July 9^th. Later that day we attended the Shoppers “Royal” Gala, and had a fun time visiting with the other guests, getting manicures, henna, and munching on their yummy snacks!

     Sadly I was not able to attend our next event, the Trail Ambassador Program pageant! However, Casey and Paris had a wonderful time. and really enjoyed the beauty of Trail! There was a parade, a ball and of course the coronation of the new Trail royalty.

     On May 11^th we attended McDonalds “McHappy Day”. Casey unfortunately could not attend this event but Paris and I had a great time working the drive thru, collecting donations for the Ronald McDonalds House and serving drinks.

     The next night was our Candidates final publically judged event before pageant: Entertainment night! All the girls did such an amazing job and showed a wide variety of talents from horse grooming and wrestling to baking and science shows with everything in between! I would also like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Richard Woods from B100 for being our Master of Ceremony for this fantastic event!

     Next, on May 14^th Paris and I attended the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation fundraiser for the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital here in Kamloops. We had a great time showing people to their seats and admiring all the beautiful gowns and hair do’s. We would also like to extend a huge thank you to Mark Madryga for being the master of ceremony for this wonderful fundraiser.

     May 15^th was the MS Walk, regrettably neither Paris nor Casey could make it to this event but I had a wonderful time visiting with all the candidates and running a rest stop with two of our lovely candidates, I couldn’t have done it alone so I thank them or all their help!

Our famous fashion show started off our April great! The candidates did very well strutting their stuff and having fun with the judges! The royalty loved to see them grow and partake in their own journey well ours is sadly starting to come to an end.                      

We also were invited to attended the City of Kamloops distinguished Community Service Awards where we mingled with Mayor Milobar and his lovely wife along with many other guests.

In April we had the privilege of traveling to the island to the Naniamo and Ladysmith Pageants! It was definitely a great trip with many good times and beautiful scenery. Unfortunately this might be the last pageant we attend all together because of busy times coming up. So we made it the best we could by having too many laughs and taking too many pictures!                        

The last publicly judged event for the candidates was also held in April. The candidates presented their 3-5 minute prepared speech and in doing so the did very well in overcoming their nerves and presented their speeches with confidence. I also presented my speech that I will be using for the British Columbia Ambassador Program Pageant this coming August. Please vote for me daily at www.bcambassador.com for the peoples choice scholarship of $500! Thank you for the support!                 

Last but not least, the Chase Pageant! The royalty loved attending the Chase Pageant last year as candidates and we excited for the 2011 Candidates to have the same opportunity. It was very special being able to share the feelings of pageant night with them and realizing it was not going to be long before it was our turn to pass our crowns.                                  

April proved to be a busy month but May has many more events in store!

Lots of Love,

Miss Kamloops Paris Sanesh
