What a dream... On August 9th, I had the chance to attend "Miracle Treat Day” in Milford, MA. For those of you who don't know, “Miracle Treat Day” is an event sponsored by Dairy Queen where all of the proceeds from Blizzards sold, go to the Children's Miracle Network. I was super excited for this event not only because I love Dairy Queen... but also because Jim Hall, the CEO of the Children's Miracle Network, would be in attendance!I was lucky enough to be accompanied to this appearance by my Mema and Executive Director. When we arrived, we were introduced to Jim Hall, the Dairy Queen staff, and Max – a CMN “Miracle Child”. Shortly after our arrival, Jim, Max, and I were brought behind the counter and each learned how to make a Dairy Queen “Blizzard”! I have to say that I may have found my calling after my reign as “Miss Massachusetts”... I can mix and blend the “Blizzards” like it's no one's business! :) We also had the chance to work the drive-thu window and personally thank customers for contributing to CMN.
I stayed at Dairy Queen for longer than expected because I became engaged by talking with customers and eating icecream! Nothing beats good conversation and DQ soft-serve...
When I returned home, I was ecstatic to learn that I was featured in September's issue of Glamour Magazine! There was an article about my involvement with Kmart's Style Showoff contest!
Thank you to Jim Hall, the staff from CMN, and to the wonderful staff of Dairy Queen in Milford, Massachusetts for preparing me for the swimsuit competition at Miss America by feeding me desserts! I will be sure to visit again soon!
Love, Alicia
