Being crowned Mrs. Longmont is not like anything Michelle Deines has ever done before.
A mother homeschooling her two children, Deines works part time as a head trainer at Freedy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers and considers herself more of an outdoorsy type. She had heard of the competition because her own mom competed in the beauty competition honoring married women throughout the U.S. when she was a kid.
“(My mom) did it and she remembers it being a lot of fun, and she got to do some cool stuff for the community,” Deines said. “And I was like, that sounds great. That sounds like something I want to do because I just want to make a difference and I want to serve.”
That service is the core part of Deines’ platform as Mrs. Longmont.
