WOODVILLE, WI – Hi Woodville! This weekend, Friday, July 12, 2024, and Sunday, the 14th, was lots of fun!
On Friday, the four of us (2024-25 Syttende Mai Queen Katelyn Gustafson, me, Second Princess Addisyn Wichelman and Third Princess Adeline Haugen) attended the River Falls Days Parade and Queen’s Tea. We saw some familiar faces, and some new ones when we met the new River Falls Ambassadors. River Falls had a huge turnout for their parade, so we were able to see a lot from the town of River Falls with our float Leif.
On Sunday, Princess Addisyn went to Turtle Lake on her own while Queen Katelyn was at a school event. Princess Addisyn attended the parade, which was a hot one, and the Queen’s Tea where they had a blow-up baseball game.
Also on Sunday, Princess Adeline and I attended Centuria’s Memory Days, where the fire station graciously hosted the Queens Tea. With the sea decorations hanging from the ceiling, the mermaids gracing the tables, the bubbles flowing, and the humidity we felt like we were under the sea! Their town was small but fun camaraderie with everyone knowing everyone else.
What an amazing year we are having representing Woodville!
