The Ribbon Cutting

It was so fun being able to open the fair.  Brooklyn sat on the stage with the other princesses and the mayors from each city in Washington County.  Mayor Karl Wilson and his wife Melanie are favorite people of ours.  They have been so good to Brooklyn and are always happy when they see her.

The Mayor and the Princess would each arise.  The mayor would then introduce his princess and she in turn would introduce her royalty.  After that, the Royalty would do their city jingle.  Ours is "La Verkin is our city and we love it...."  It is really cute with lots of movement, signing, and rapping.  It got the loudest applause!

 Following the ribbon cutting, we all went outside for the flag ceremony.  The theme of the fair was "Let Freedom Ring" and in this election year and all that has gone on politically, it was nice to take a moment and think about the sacrifices that have been made to retain our freedom.

Before we left for the night, Chuck and Debbie Hardy were so nice and treated us all to a ride on the ferris wheel.  I must admit, there were some jitters on some of our parts, but it was a time to be remembered!
