Ashlyn King--Eagan Funfest Ambassador--shares recent experiences

Can you believe its 2014 already? Well I know I can’t! Time has been flying by so fast and I don’t want this amazing journey to ever be over! All I can do is live these last months to the fullest and enjoy every second I can with my beautiful Ambassadors.

We have been doing some wonderful events lately. One event that I will remember for the rest of my life was the Winter Carnival Junior Coronation. Meghan Harwell was running in it, if you don’t know who she is, she was a part of Eagan Funfest Ambassadors the previous year! She is the sweetest girl ever and just someone everyone loves. So we went to the Coronation and she was really nervous which is to be expected but they called her name for QUEEN! Not princess but Queen. It was such a great experience to see a previous Eagan Ambassador win Winter Carnival! Good Job MeghanJ.

We also went to the Winter Carnival Parade. It was freezing! So we were all bundled up in everything warm we own. We got to hold the snowflakes at the beginning of the parade. I loved this parade because even though it was such a chilly day there was still people lined up on the streets all bundled up. It just shows the support and love of Minnesotans. Coming out and supporting even when it’s cold. All the spectators loved the snowflakes as well so that was fun. They would scream out “We love the Snowflakes” and “Yay Snowflakes”. Such a great experience and I’m so happy I could be a part of the 2014 Winter Carnival Parade.

One of my favorite events so far was definitely Davannis. It was like we worked at Davannis for a day. We had to bussed tables and talk to customers and make sure everything was okay for them. The best part of the whole thing was talking into the microphone. There was a microphone and when someone’s food was ready we would call out their name and say the food was ready! We all had the greatest time doing it.

Even though time is flying by as an Eagan Funfest Ambassador I wouldn’t change a thing. The other Ambassadors and I are all so close and I have made lifelong friends. I can’t wait to see what these upcoming months have in store for us!
