Wee Miss Great Lakes AmeriFest

🍓 What a berry sweet day! 🍓

I had so much fun at the local Strawberry Festival today! I got to plant my very own strawberry plant, explore the community herb garden, and visit the barn where they had lots of old tools! 🌱❤️

Happy Earth Day! 🌎💚

I had so much fun attending a local Earth Day Expo! I got to pick out a sticker (I chose a moth 🦋), learn all about food waste, and even meet a local beekeeper who gave me a sample of honey—yum! 🍯🐝

It was such a fun day learning how we can all help take care of our beautiful planet. Let’s keep spreading kindness to the Earth every day! 🌱✨

This was my very first appearance in my crown and sash, and I had so much fun attending the groundbreaking for the new YMCA Regional Wellness Center! 🏗️✨
Everyone loved having a princess there, and I felt so honored to meet so many sweet people! 💕👑

They also had the MOST delicious cookies! 🍪😋

I even got to take a picture with the Executive Director for the Tri-State YMCA, which made it extra special! 💫

Hi everyone! 👑💖

My name is Callie, and I am so excited and honored to introduce myself as your newly crowned Wee Miss Great Lakes! 🌊✨

I feel like a real princess, and I’m so grateful for this amazing opportunity. I love making new friends, dressing up, and shining on stage! This journey means so much to me, and I can’t wait to represent the Great Lakes with kindness, confidence, and lots of sparkle 💕✨

Right now I am OBSESSED with all the charms for my charm bracelet I got—I can’t stop looking at it and picking my favorites! 💗✨

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and cheered me on—I couldn’t have done it without you! I’m so excited for everything ahead and to make lots of special memories along the way 💫
