Mrs. Idaho America 2008: April 2009

Jackie emailed about the Ririe Jr. Miss Pageant here is what she had to say:

It was very rewarding to be able to accomplish another one of my goals as Mrs. Idaho America by going back to my home-town Ririe Idaho. I had so much fun rubbing shoulders with so many people I knew and to help with their Jr. Miss Pageant this year. It had been exactly 20 years ago when I did the Ririe Jr. Miss Pageant and to experience my first time in a pageant. I was very impressed with the wide range of talents for example, River Dancing, Karate to music, Banjo, Guitar and singing, Ballet with a little twist, modern dancing and Bee-bopping. I want to thank the Ririe Committee and beautiful young women for letting me a part of their special weekend… I will never forget it.

Jackie attended the 2009 Ririe Jr. Miss Pageant, here is what she had to say:

These pictures are from my home-town Ririe, Idaho, I talked to 14 Jr. Miss Contestants. I talked to the ladies about how we are all connected in some way by using an analogy with string. Each girl had to pick another girl by throwing the string to her and telling her how she has changed her life.
