Tonight I was invited to attend a charity event to benefit the Halifax Health Foundation.  Tickets were a $1,000 and then your name was entered to win a Chevrolet Corvette!  Upon arrival we had the option of riding around the track in a pace car.  I accepted and the car went racing over 120 mph around the track!  It was thrilling to say the least and such a wonderul opportunity.  My job was to eliminate the names as they were drawn from the wheel for the raffle .  The last name left won the car! It was an exciting evening and a great turnout to benefit such a wonderful organization.  Mayor Glenn Richey was on hand to emcee and even offer the 10 finalists $2,000 EACH instead of the car, but everyone declined leaving the Degreare’s a brand new Corvette!  Here are some photos from the event below-

Today Jackie Raulerson and I went to Duran Golf Course for the YMCA golf tournament.  Money was raised to help the YMCA facilities that benefit children and adults.  After a hot day on the course we were ready to welcome the players into a delicious lunch and awards presentation.  After we had given out the last of the prizes for the raffle, we headed down to the range!  My dad is a golf professional so we got a few pointers and hit a bucket of balls!  To find out more information about the YMCA go to www.ymca.net

Today we had the Miss Florida USA seminar and found out our exciting plans for pageant week!  We were also able to meet all of the girls which was great.  I look forward to seeing everyone in July!

It’s here!! Everything seems to be flying by and before I knew it, it was time to head to Miami.  My sister queens and I went down to Hollywood, FL for a 6:30 am call at Tel-Air Productions!  Taping our intros, interviews, and modeling prizes at the beautiful Westin Diplomat kept us busy throughout the day.  Finishing up by 12:30 we were excited to spend some off-time by the beaches and also catch up on some lost sleep from the night before!  Tomorrow we have a WHOLE day off before orientation and are planning to relax!  Below are some pictures from Day 1
