Another successful Wilber weekend has come and gone!
Ava and I had such a wonderful time attending Wilber this year, and cheering on Karolina as she went on to win Miss Czech Slovak US! She is such a beautiful person and ambassador, and we could not be happier for her as she begins her journey. We are so very greatful to have such a wonderful role model to look up to, not only in our Czech heritage preservation, but also in life. We love you Lina, and hope you have the best year ever!
Along with Lina, we were able to witness two amazing other young women, Kathrine and Hannah win national titles. I was able to talk with them during our Royalty Luncheon, and they are also such wonderful people. Much congrats to you both, and we know you will do great things!
It was also a pleasure to meet so many other queens from out of state, including Olivia Kual from South Dakota, Grace McKinley from Missouri, Ashlee Hanson from Wisconsin, and many more! I am looking forward to next year when I will have the opportunity to compete alongside such an amazing group of girls!
I also had the honor of crowning my sister, Caroline Davis, as the new Lincoln Czech-Slovak Queen! It was so fun to have my sister and built in best friend as a queen to be with all e
weekend! I can’t wait to see what she does over the next year as she prepared for the Nebraska Pageant!
During the festival, we were invited to the Queens Reception, where we had a lovely time visiting with familiar faces and meeting new ones from across the nation. After enjoying the wonderful hospitality, we headed out to ride in the parade! We love riding in parades, especially Wilber’s, because the support and interactions we receive from the people and the community are truly wonderful.
It is always so special to see how much love and pride the Wilber community has for their Czech heritage!
We can’t wait to attend again next year!
