Immediately after being crowned our duties as queen began, and we have been having a blast representing our wonderful tradition. Every weekend brings on a new adventure in a new part of our wonderful state. Here are just a few of the pictures from some of the places we have traveled to including Louisiana Queen of Hope, Southwest Mardi Gras, and Washington Catfish just to name a few. I will keep everyone updated as our year continues.
