Meet the Judges

I am Allie Enge and I am honored to serve as a judge for this year's Miss North Star Teen, Miss North Star and Miss Glacial Waters. I am a proud lifelong Minnesotan, I have a passion for empowering women to lead with confidence and always advocating for integrity, service and personal growth.

I have owned The Shed in Thief RIver Falls for the past 14 years. We have evolved from a seasonal business on the property where we live to a remodeled store front in downtown Thief River Falls. Even though our look has changed through the years, the one thing that always has remained the same is that our mission has always been to serve our community with compassion, integrity, and dedication - all while empowering others to work together to build a brighter future for all.

I live just outside of Thief River Falls with my husband, my dog Miss Bea and my cat Miss Willie. We have two children, our daughter Hannah is 26 and a graduate of U Of M Twin Cities, she currently works and resides in Minneapolis. Hannah is a former Miss Heart Of The Lakes and was 2018 Miss Congeniality at Miss Minnesota. Our son Nolan is 22 and likes and works on Oak Island on the Northwest Angle. As a former pageant mom I know exactly what these girls and family members are feeling. I ask you to join me in thanking all of them for sharing their most precious gifts with the world.

In our spare time, my husband and I love to fish for walleyes at Lake Of The Woods, and deer hunt north of Grygla. We love to travel the world and experience new adventures from paragliding off the Alps in Switzerland to deep sea fishing off the coast of Venezuela. We have discovered our love and passion for experiencing new things. However at the end of every trip there is nothing like coming home to Minnesota and realizing there truly is no place we would rather call home.

It's time to Meet the Judges!

Head Judge

From the suburb of the Twin Cities in Big Lake, Minnesota, this graduate from Middle River is so very excited to be a part of the pageant community. Miss Middle River 1984, Heidi Scramstad Domyahn, enjoys the opportunity to again serve as a judge for this event.
Since moving from the area, Heidi loved her career as a home medical transcriptionist. She and her husband, Nathan, of 32 years, have raised two beautiful children, Abbey, 29, and Paige, 26. Though Heidi put aside her headset as a transcriptionist, she truly loves and believes in giving back and spreading kindness. She is now spending her days volunteering in the Emergency Room at Allina Hospital, volunteering for Allina Hospice, and working part-time at a local boutique.
In her free time, Heidi enjoys early morning walks, retail therapy, decorating, spending time with her children and their husbands, and being a compassionate friend to someone in need.
Heidi wishes all the contestants the very best; let your true self shine brightly through, have the greatest time, and you will always be a true winner!
