Being Mrs. Virginia International has been so much fun and very rewarding, but this past week, had to be one of the highlights of my reign that I will likely never forget.
Growing up, like many of you, I watched the Dukes of Hazzard and could just see Bo & Luke Duke speeding up my street to pick me up and my dad praying like never before that I didn't run away with them. Ahhhhhh the memories of childhood crushes!
I was invited to attend the event my William Molitor with Operation Homefront. This organization, along with Operation First Response, work tirelessly to aid our freedom-fighting warriors and/or their families. They ensure that they know they are not forgotten and their voice is important. Bill and his family were there with me all day along with Wendy and Skye - what a wonderful group of caring individuals. Spending the time with them made the day even more special because I know that I walked away with new friends.
Now, I live in the country and am becoming very accustomed to country life, which means for most of my appearances, I am traveling great distances or spend the night at a lot of them. This time though, the "Hazzard Homecoming" was in Sperryville, which is just 15 miles from home. I was ecstatic just for that fact, then I learned I would be able to meet the cast of the Dukes of Hazzard. Can you say unbelievable?!?
The event ran for two days - I could only attend on Saturday. My little girl heart was broken that neither Bo or Luke would be there on that day but I did get to meet Daisy, Cooter, Roscoe, Enos and Cletus. I was a happy girl for sure!
I enjoyed the day being the only "Queen of Hazzard Nation" but also helping many in attendance sign postcards for those serving in our military, taking photographs with lots of little princesses, riding in a General Lee, and of course, meeting the cast. Enjoy a few photos of the day and check out the websites for Operation Homefront & Operation First Response - your help with these organizations is greatly appreciated!
