"I am sincerely honored and grateful for the opportunity to serve as the 2008 Strawberry Festival Queen. Being an ambassador for Stilwell is a serious responsibility. I do not take the task lightly and I promise to represent my community, and my family, with enthusiasm and dignity. This community, and the people that live here, have given me so much and I look forward to the opportunity to give back. I am so excited about the year to come - this is an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life."
