During the pageant I was asked to come up on stage along with Kathryn Knuttila, and Kaylah Dockter to talk about ourselves and our platforms. It was a great way to tell people about the Miss America Organization. Kathryn also played a piece on the piano, which the crowd went crazy over!
The pageant had an outstanding turn out! The theater was packed!
The staff even drew a picture of me :-)
My Great Uncle
On Monday April 12th I had my final fundraiser at the Pizza Ranch located in Waite Park to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network(CMN). It was by far the best Pizza Ranch Fundraiser yet!! I have done three of these fundraisers up in Dilworth and this was my thrid one in Waite Park. I was thrilled with the turn out and the generosity of my family and friends.
I want to give a HUGE Thank You the Pizza Ranch staff in Waite Park! Everyone who works there is so kind and helpful. I want to thank the managers, Britney and Jackie. You two are fabulous and I cannot describe my gratitude towards your hospitality. Thank you to my Mom, my Sister, and Travis for helping us clean tables all evening! Most of all I want to thank everyone who came in to support this outstanding organization! I am overwhelmed with thanks and happiness!
If you were unable to attend the fundraiser and still want to donate, please visit my personal CMN page to donate:

I have three weeks of school left. My last day of finals is May 7th. Of course my professors are craming everything into these last few weeks and I have so many papers to write and exams to take! I stay up late every night doing Miss Minnesota Preparation, such as paperwork, updating my blog, and scheduling appearances. I am a very busy individual, but I wouldn't have it any other way :-) I'm off to do some homework.
Always,
Bethany Beniek
