Today Brianna and Taylor volunteered at The Denise Bohn Pink Event to raise money for cancer! The money raised from the event goes towards helping individuals who are currently fighting cancer in Southwest Michigan! It was such a beautiful event and Brianna was very blessed to be a part of it. ❤️

Thank you Miss Eau Claire/Sodus/Dowagiac Pageant Organization for the pictures. 🙂

Royal Spotlight 👑❤️

1. Name and title

⭐️ Emma Kirksey, Miss Teen Hartford 2026

2. Age, school, grade

⭐️ 16, junior at Watervliet high school

3. What I’m looking forward most to this year?

⭐️ There have been so many fun memories this year. One of my favorite’s was getting ready for the Harrington photos with the big court, coronation ball was blast and of course attending the Blossomtime Pageant when our beautiful queen won 1st runner up.

4. What I like to do in my free time?

⭐️ In my free time I play A LOT of softball. If I’m not on the field, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, going to the gym, and spending time with my family.

5. What being a member of the court means to me?

⭐️ Being a member of the court has meant so much to me. I have always been known for softball and no one expected me to ever participate in a pageant, let alone win it. Earning the title of Miss Teen Hartford, I was able to represent and show the younger generation that you can truly be anything you put your mind to and that’s something that means a lot to me. Being on court brought me lifelong friendships with the best people I wouldn’t have met if it weren’t for this opportunity I was given.

6. Who inspires you the most and why?

⭐️ The person who inspires me the most is my sister, McKenna. She was Miss Hartford’s 2nd runner up 2024 and I truly enjoyed watching her love every minute of her reign. Which inspired me to compete.
She carries herself with such grace, she is so kind, and her willingness to do anything for anyone really inspires me. She has been the best role model to me growing up and I’m grateful to have her as my best friend.

Today our royals volunteered at TWO events! The morning started off at Bumbleberry Acres for their Superheroes/Princess event. Kids from all over got to meet and greet superheroes and princesses (including meeting our royals). Everyone had such a wonderful time and we are so thankful they invited us. ❤️

The afternoon was spent at the Van Buren County Fairgrounds for their trunk or treat event. Our royals dressed as minions and passed out candy to all the little trick or treaters. 🩷

⭐️ The person who inspires me the most is my eldest sister, Jessica. She has showed me what being a hard worker looks like and the outcome of being genuine and consistent in her work. She is truly inspiring to me and shows me why I should continue to move forward in getting a higher education.
