Send Off Party
March 26th, 2011

Three weeks to the day after being crowned Mrs. Colorado 2011, I was given the most wonderful display of support and encouragement, a fabulous send off party.  Not just any send off party, but an event to raise funds for my national competition, an opportunity to show off personal flare, and a chance to celebrate with my most favorite people.  All attendees were encouraged to adorn their most beautiful chapeau.  Everyone looked amazing and it was really wonderful to see reflections of personality in what they chose to wear.

with Sheli Ralph Schomp BMW served as a nice back drop to our festivities, Boston's, Chick Fil A, and Nothing Bundt Cake generously donated all the food, beverages, and desserts, and an amazing crew helped gather the many items up for bid. I felt so special to be surrounded by so many amazing people.  We had former queens, current title holders, friends, family, and many new faces come out to enjoy the festivities.  We even had Her Life magazine come out to cover the event for the "See and Be Seen" segment in the May issue.
