It has been a little while since my last entry but since then I have done some great appearances. It started on Remembrance Day where I was invited to the Royal Canadian Legion in Carbonear to participate in the Remembrance Day Ceremonies. The weather didn’t co-operate that day but the Ceremonies went ahead anyway, they were just moved inside the Legion. It was a wonderful Ceremony and was a great way to get together to remember the men and women who fought and are still fighting for our Country. I was honored to be introduced to some of the veterans and their families.
The next day I traveled to 
presents and bells, there was even a Christmas tree set up in the corner. We even got to dress up a little with reindeer antlers. First we helped with registration and then it was time to warm up and stretch. After warming up we started the walk around Quidi Vidi lake, adults, children, babies and dogs all joined in the hike around the lake. Thankfully the weather co-operated and it was pretty exhilarating. After the walk we were treated to free massages from the physiotherapists who were stationed inside the building to help relax everyone once the walk was finished. Then Kristi and I had some wonderful photo’s taken with some of the children who participated. Three children in particular helped make my day – a set of twins, Melissa and Mark, who won an award for the best costume as they were dressed like Santa and Mrs. Claus and Olivia, a little miracle with such an amazing story. These children put such a smile on my face that day. It is definitely something I will never forget. Kristi and I ended our day by getting pictures taken with the volunteers who helped make the walk such a success.
On November 21st I traveled to town to pick up some of my prizes. My first stop 
was to Abishot in 
wntown to pick up my autograph cards. This was very exciting for me as I couldn’t wait to see what they had done with them! Once I got them I was soooo impressed by them. After leaving Print three it was off to Always in Vogue to get fitted for the fur coat for the
On November 22nd
I participated in the VOCM Happy Tree Opening at the Avalon Mall. Once I arrived I was met by Kristi Bourne, Miss Central Avalon Achievement and the winner of the VOCM Charitable Activity Award, and Danielle Seward, Miss Teen NL. We started off the evening by reading Chr
istmas stories to the Children who were awaiting the awakening of Happy. The Children were so excited by the stories and gathered around to listen. After we read the stories I was asked to get some pictures taken and to sign some autographs. This was especially exciting to me as it was the first time I got to use my new autograph cards! This was one of my favorite appearances so far because I love working and playing with the children, they give you so much happiness and hope for everything with their cheerful attitudes. I absolutely loved it.
Today I was invited to take part in the Open House for the brand new 
chievement, Caitlin Noseworthy, Miss Teen Trinity-Conception, Jamie Korab, and some of the members of the Cee Bees Hockey Team spent a few hours with the staff at the opening. I was so glad to take part in this Open House. I was even lucky enough to get to wear Jamie’s Olympic Curling Gold Medal. It was so much fun and I know that this
That’s all for now! Please keep checking the website for updates on my appearances, journals and of course pictures of the events! And don’t forget if you see me at an event please come up to me and introduce yourself, I would love to meet as many people as possible this year! Talk to you all soon!

Hello everyone! Since my last journal entry I have had many wonderful appearances that I had to write another journal entry about them all.
It started on October 29th at the Civic Center in Carbonear where I participated in the Mayors Walk (Heart and Stroke Foundation) in Memory of th
e late Claude Garland, Mayor of Carbonear. This was a very emotional appearance for me as Mr. Garland was a very dear friend of mine. A lot of people turned out to walk in his memory and it was a great night for it. Mr. Garland was a person in my life who helped me become who I am today by believing in me and the things I did. I am very grateful to have had him in my life and I was very honored to be able to participate and raise money for this walk in his memory. NTV was also there to tape the walk and speak about Mr. Garland and his life. It was a very moving appearance for me.
On Halloween I traveled to St. John's to the Janeway Children's Hospital for their Trick-or-Treat party. I was able to go around to the many floors with the children and collect candy for those children who couldn't get out to do it. After receiving the candy from the nursing stations the children proceeded to "The Ship" where they had a Halloween party with music, candy and drinks. It was a very fun appearance for me and I am very glad to have been able to get out to the Janeway for Halloween.
The next weekend tur
ned out to be a very busy one for me! On November 2nd at 9am I boarded the DRL Coachlines bus and traveled all the way to Central NL for the Triton Volunteer Fire Department Telethon. The first thing that I was given was a grand tour of Robert's Arm, Triton and Brighton from Bram, a resident of Triton. After touring the towns I was brought right to the fire station to meet the Triton Volunteer Fire Department Members. Even though it was late the fireman were generous enough to give me a tour of the fire station and even take pictures. I was very happy that night to be joined by Sherylynn Butt from Provincial Airlines, a previous Miss Newfoundland and Labrador (2003) and Miss Canada Galaxy (2006).
The next morning Sherylynn and I went back to the fire station to get ready for the run-through of the telethon, but the members of the Fire Department had different plans for us. First we met up with Shane Budgell - the organizer of the telethon. Then we were shown the brand new fire truck that the Department had bought in 2005. We were able to take pictures in the Provincial Airlines jackets with the new truck and I was completely beside myself...but that wasn't the best part. After those pictures were taken one of the members brought out the Fireman's Uniform (which Sherry and I were told was called "Bunker Gear"). So to make my day so much better I was allowed to put on the bunker gear and take lots of pictures. The fireman ha
d a great time and they decided that I should take as many pictures as possible with all of the gear they had: oxygen masks, the saw and yes..even the Jaws of Life. I was able to get into the truck and test it out some of the gears in the back. What a great time it was! I was so happy to be able to interact with the fireman and get to know them well. It put a whole different perspective on firefighting for me to actually get into the Bunker Gear and see what they have to put on each and every time duty calls them. After that was done Sherry and I were taken out in the fire truck for a drive around the community. It was our duty to make announcements and remind the residents about the telethon taking place that night. After that it was back to the Fire Station for a run through. There we were met by Sabrina Fitzpatrick, Miss Teen Canada Scholarship.
After the run through we changed and went to PJ's for a meet and greet with the fi
reman and some of the people involved in the telethon. It was there that I met one of the most amazing 10 year olds I will ever meet - Dante Hiscock. Dante is a gospel singer and has the voice of an angel. At the age of 10 he has already been nominated for three awards, including an East Coast Music Award. Talk about amazing. At PJ's I was also able to take many pictures with different people and the staff was generous enough to allow me to take photos with some of the hockey memorabilia.
That night brought the telethon. From 6pm until 9 pm we were on television trying to raise money for the fire department for new Bunker Gear. Shane, Shery and I were in one part of the studio and
Sabrina and some of the other fireman were in another part receiving the donations and helping set up the performers. We took turns going back and forth between the sets promoting the fire department, local talent and of course answering the phones and taking pledges. I had a blast at this event and I am so pleased that I got to partake in it. I want to send out a few special thanks: Thank you to the town of Triton, the Triton Volunteer Fire Department, Shane, Bram, and a very special thank you to DRL Coachlines. This appearance was so amazing for me and I can't wait to travel to Central NL again this year!
Just yesterday I did my interview with The Newfoundland Herald. It was so much fun to do and I had a great time. I can not wait to see it on the stands...so keep watching for it!!!!

Hello everyone! It hasn't been too long since my last journal entry but I have done a few more appearances since then so I wanted to write another one to keep everyone updated with what I am doing. It started on October 20th with a wonderful tour of the VOCM studios on Kenmount Road in St, John's. What a treat!!! Jay Taylor of CHVO (in Carbonear) met me at the front door and we started the tour in Carbonear. Yes that is right, we started in Carbonear - ok well 
it was really the office that broadcasts CHVO to Carbonear. From there he showed me the weather room, the room where open line is done and then brought me into the VOCM studio where I got some great pictures taken and got shown how to use the equi
pment while VOCM was live. It was so much fun learning how everything works. But that wasn't all! While I was there I also got to see the offices of 99.1, K-Rock, Radio Newfoundland and Radio Labrador. Jay also found a spot on the 99.1 Hits FM wall for me to sign..right underneath Kim Stockwood! If that wasn't enough, I got treated to a very interesting time after that - I was brought into The Shed. Yes, that is right The Shed with Big Tom and to my surprise, they were on air and I got to meet Big Tom! Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better, Tom invited me on to the radio with him. Here I was in the Shed and going on air with Big Tom, he even let me request a song - which I dedicated to my dad!
After my wonderful tour it was over the Arts and Culture Center for the 18th Annual International Women's Film Festival. Here I got to see videos from many inspirational filmmakers and even a documentary entitled "Forgiveness: Stories For Our Time" which was absolutely amazing. The people who put this show together did such an
amazing job and I hope that there are many more festivals to look forward to.
On Thursday October 25th, I took part in the 3rd Anniversary celebrations of Envy Hair Studio, another one of the Miss Newfoundland and Labrador Hair sponsors. This event was great! I enjoyed speaking with the ladies at the studio as well as some of the customers and friends. Congratulations ladies on your 3rd year and I will be seeing you all soon!!!
That night I went back to my old High School, Carbonear Collegiate, where I took part in the opening ceremonies of the Provincial Student Leadership Conference. Hundreds of students from schools across the province traveled to Carbonear to take place in the weekend's events. From classes on learning how to dance the fox trot to learning how to blow bubbles, the students partook in a weekend of amazing adventures. I met so many young students and I was very honored to have been able to take part.
On Saturday October 27th, I traveled to Upper Island Cove to a
ttend the Upper Island Cove Fireman's Ball. This was a great function. I got to meet so many people that I didn't know and even a few that I had met previously. I was asked to say a few words to the firefighters and I was very and truly honored to be able to get up and speak directly to them. Thank you so much for inviting me to share in this event with you!
I am having such an amazing and wonderful time as Miss Newfoundland and Labrador and I truly enjoy all of the appearances I have done so far. I can't wait until the next ones. Please keep checking the website for updates on my appearances, journals and of course pictures of the events! And don't forget if you see me at an event please come up to me and introduce yourself, I would love to meet as many people as possible this year! Talk to you all soon!

This was to be a really exciting day - I was there to get my hair and make up ready for my Official Photoshoot as Miss Newfoundland and Labrado
r. Krista did such an amazing job on my hair and make-up and made me look great for my photoshoot. From there it was off to the Studio. Upon my arrival I was greeted by Kim Goodyear and Jennifer Gilliard, my photographers. The first part of the photoshoot took place in the studio where we took some great shots and had a really big laugh! Kim and Jennifer are so much fun to work with and we had a great time. After the studio shots we went over to Park House and took
some more shots. These ones were so much fun, I got to use the staircase and the couch to take some amazing shots, although it was very hard this time to get the more serious shots as I found that I was laughing so hard at Kim and Jennifer's jokes. After they had gotten the shots inside we realized that the weather had cleared off a bit and that we could go and get a few shots done in the park right next door. These ones turned out to be my favorite because not only was I getting some beautiful shots done but I also got to act a bit like a kid and play on the swing. It turned out to be a wonderful day and I couldn't wait to see how all of the photos had turned out. Thank you so much to Krista from Identity Hair Salon for the beautiful hair and make-up and thank you to Kim and Jennifer, the photoshoot was so much fun and the pictures turned out amazing (more photoshoot shots will be added in another blog message!).

It hasn't been very long since my last entry but I am going to try to keep as up to date as I can. Since my last entry I have done three appearances, all of which were excellent!
On October 12, 2007 I traveled to the Marine Institute in St. John's for the Ocean Net Youth and the Oceans Conference. Fighting Global Meltdown was this year's topic and was it even interesting! I learned a whole lot from this conference about Global Warming and the effects a lot of stuff has on the earth. We were treated to very cool fire juggling demonstration, guest speakers, slideshows and a youth forum with a question and answer period. We heard speeches from Beni Malone (who gave us the jugging demonstration), Terry Harvey (of the Canadian Coast Guard), Dr. Bill Montevecchi (a professor from Marine Institute), Bruce Peters (owner of the Tourist Hospitality B & B), and Justin Deering (the Provincial Director of the NL
Environmental Action Team). I was also invited to speak to the youth attending the conference and it was truly exhilarating! Not only did I learn a lot from the speakers but I learned a lot from the youth just by speaking with them throughout the conference. It was a very good learning experience for me! Close to the end of the conference there were many awards given out. I just want to congratulate some of the award winners here: The Youth Environmental Stewardship Award for outstanding Environmental work went to Holy Trinity High School and 2nd place went to Mary's Town Central High School. The Eco-Champ Award Winner for this year went to St. Catherine's Academy in Mount Carmel. Recognition for this award went to Larkhall Academy and Balbo Elementary. There was also an Essay Award given out for the best essay written and this award went to Luke Rose of Balbo Elementary. Congratulations to all of the schools! You all did a great job! I have to also congratulate the entire Ocean Net Committee. This conference was well put together and well thought through. It was great to attend and I am sure that a lot of work went it to it. I have to say it was well worth it!!!! I am on my way to that 10 point lifestyle and I will make sure that Justin knows that I will be using "swirly bulbs" from now on! Lol!
On Saturday October 13, my day started off at Envy Hair Studio. The ladies at Envy are always a great laugh when I go down and they always do a great job!! It was so fun there that the time went so quickly and I didn't realize how long I was there! Thanks ladies I loved my hair! After envy it was off to Sooters in Carbonear for a photo shoot. Sooters donated a photo shoot as one of my prizes. It was so much fun! We took a whole lot of great shots and I can't wait to see the pictures. Thank you so much!!!
That night it was off to the 35th annual Carbonear Fireman's Ball.
This function was very special to be for many reasons. Carbonear is my hometown and it is always great to do functions at home. Also in 2001 I was crowned Miss Carbonear 2001-2002 and the Carbonear Fireman's Ball was my first official function as Miss Carbonear. It was an amazing feeling to be able to go back after all these years. It was also special to me because this year my little sister, Laura, was crowned Miss Carbonear 2007-2008 and this was the first function that I was able to share with her. So the night started off with myself, Laura and Caitlin (Miss Tee Trinity-Conception 2007-2008) meeting and greeting many people. We had the 
opportunity to meet with the Mayor of Carbonear, Sam Slade, the MP for the Avalon Riding, Fabian Manning, The President for the PC Party, John Babb, and many of the Carbonear Volunteer Firefighters. I was honored to be able to speak and to let the firefighters know just how proud I was to be from such a town with people like them giving up their time to be volunteer firefighters. When the dinner, the speeches and awards were given out we were able to get a huge group photo with the firefighters. It was such a wonderful night! Thank you so much to the Carbonear Volunteer Fire Department for inviting me to share in such a wonderful event!
On Sunday October 14th I traveled to Bay Roberts for the Trinity Conception Placentia Health Foundation Telethon. This was a very exciting event for me as it was for such a great cause. I went up to the Persona Building in Bay Roberts and at 1pm myself and Danielle Butt were on tv. We got to read pledges, sponsors and help to display cheques from different organizations. Later in the afternoon myself, Kristi Bourne (Miss Central Avalon Achievement) and Caitlin Noseworthy (Miss Teen Trinity-Conception) were also able to go on television and
speak. This year was also really special for the telethon because it was the first year that they were live on the internet. After that we were put on the phones to take pledges. I got to meet a whole lot of people at this event and it was so fun. I met Danielle Butt from NTV, Rod Stockley from Coast 101.1, and Glen Littlejohn the mayor of Bay Roberts. I also got to speak with some people that I had already previously met like Aiden Hibbs from CHVO, Fabian Manning, Tom Hedderson, Kathy Stacey from Persona and Don Coombs the mayor of Harbour Grace. The telethon was a great success 
one who got to reveal the final total live on Persona television. I want to congratulate and they raised a lot of money. They raised over $316,000.00 and I was the luckytulate the organizing committee for a job well done. This year's telethon was truly amazing and it has definitely grown over the last few years! Congratulations on the success of this year and I hope that each year it gets bigger and better!!! I look forward to watching it grow and I know I will be back to volunteer for next year!
Well everyone those are my appearances for the last weekend. I had an amazing and wonderful weekend and I truly enjoyed all of the appearances I did. I can't wait until the next ones. Please keep checking the website for updates on my appearances, journals and of course pictures of the pageant and my events! And don't forget if you see me at an event please come up to me and introduce yourself, I would love to meet as many people as possible this year! Talk to you all soon!

I went up to the Persona Building in Bay Roberts and at 1pm myself and Danielle Butt were on tv. We got to read pledges, sponsors and help to display cheques from different organizations. Later in the afternoon myself, Kristi Bourne (Miss Central Avalon Achievement) and Caitlin Noseworthy (Miss Teen Trinity-Conception) were also able to go on television and
speak. This year was also really special for the telethon because it was the first year that they were live on the internet. After that we were put on the phones to take pledges. I got to meet a whole lot of people at this event and it was so fun. I met Danielle Butt from NTV, Rod Stockley from Coast 101.1, and Glen Littlejohn the mayor of Bay Roberts. I also got to speak with some people that I had already previously met like Aiden Hibbs from CHVO, Fabian Manning, Tom Hedderson, Kathy Stacey from Persona and Don Coombs the mayor of Harbour Grace. The telethon was a great success 
one who got to reveal the final total live on Persona television. I want to congratulate and they raised a lot of money. They raised over $316,000.00 and I was the luckytulate the organizing committee for a job well done. This year's telethon was truly amazing and it has definitely grown over the last few years! Congratulations on the success of this year and I hope that each year it gets bigger and better!!! I look forward to watching it grow and I know I will be back to volunteer for next year!Well everyone those are my appearances for the last weekend.
