Sara's first week as Miss Beloit 2006 has been exciting. So many wonderful people have extended their congratulations and best wishes to Sara and our family. She has so many terrific supporters. Our thanks to everyone for your love and support!

Sara's first official appearance was Wednesday evening. She was invited to perform at the Stateline Literacy Council's annual meeting. The young ladies from the Rising Stars Dance Studio performed the dance that they performed at the Miss Beloit pageant on Saturday. Sara then performed the song that she sang at the pageant - "On My Own" from the musical Les Mis. Sara had a chance to meet some people from the community and learn more about the Stateline Literacy Council. Thank you to the council for inviting Sara and for allowing us to share in the evening.
