Dan Grevas

On December 18th I visited my sponsor, Dan Grevas, at his studio. It was a good feeling to get to see him and his family again, and catch up on some of the things we've both been up to. We talked about the events I have done like the Cambridge Snowflake Parade (where I met lots of other royalties) and some of my favorite events where we get to do things with kids, such as the Inver Grove Heights Parks and Rec Boo Bash. We also briefly talked about future events that I am excited for, like the Saint Paul Winter Carnival! I know Dan is excited too, as he gets to see every family for their royal portrait and enjoys meeting and working with them. We also discussed our upcoming formal portraits and some of the parades I will be in for the Winter Carnival. I am a student at Hamline University and so I brought him a shirt as a thank you for his support of my royal year (and so he could show his Piper pride too)! To top it all off, we went back into the studio to take a nice picture together, which was really fun!  Thank you, Dan, for your continued support of our Program and making my year possible!!
