This coming weekend is a big one in a lot of Wisconsin households. After all, our beloved Packers are playing a huge playoff game, lose and they go home, win and they move on!Our household, and many others also have a duel reason to watch TV on Saturday night. It is the Miss America pageant. I know there are several groans when reading this, and some may also be delighted, all depends on what you enjoy. But our local area has a real reason to be excited, as Kate Gorman, a local Onalaska native, is representing the state of Wisconsin as Miss Wisconsin. She also happens to be a dear family friend and former babysitter to my kids.
How many of you can say that you had Miss Wisconsin as a babysitter? Pretty cool right? She also happens to be an extremely poised, talented, beautiful and genuinely nice woman. We know personally how very hard she has worked to make it to be crowned Miss Wisconsin, how hard she has worked this past year as Miss Wisconsin, and what an effort she is making to be Miss America.
She has a wonderful platform of combating childhood hunger with healthy foods, a very useful and meaningful thing that she has worked hard to promote in the Coulee Region. We have seen her out and about in town, my girls think she is walking, talking princess. She always takes the time to chat and hug the kids. So while your focus maybe more green and gold this weekend, don't forget to think ball gowns and crowns either!
Give Kate Gorman a shout out and may she bring home the Miss America title to our neck of the woods. She is a person we can be proud is representing our state!
