Nothing like a weekend in the twirling gym 👯♀️
One of my most favorite contests of the year *just so happens* to be hosted here in State College by forever Blue Sapphire and Touch of Blue Captain, Matt and Meredith Freeman! I count myself lucky to be a part of a community that welcomes me back with opportunities to learn, grow, and giveback however possible.
Thanks to M Twirling Team, I spent Saturday behind the judges table clerking for Ms Lora Riley Riegner where I had a first row to watch our up and coming twirling champions while taking my first steps to earning my judging license. Without missing a beat, I returned to debut my talent routine for an exhibition performance on Sunday during the regional team championships competition!
Rockstar and twirling champion, Miss Scarlette Cooley, accepted my invitation to join me for Miss PA Week as my Belle — be prepared to love her just like I do. Cianna’s Boutique not only provided me with my sparkle (and Bobby Pins), but a ‘contest home’ for the weekend — Denice, thank you for always going the extra mile for me as I chase this dream.
Returning to my roots and being surrounded by the people who know me best was exactly what I needed while heading into the final week of prep for Miss PA Week. Until next time twirling world, know I’m rooting for you through each routine, toss, and twirl. 🤍
