Kailee Ogden crowned Miss North Star 2013
Kailee Ogden of Warroad
was crowned Miss North
Star 2013 on Sunday, June
23, during the pageant held
in Middle River. Ogden,
along with five other contestants,
competed in five
divisions – personal interview,
on-stage question,
lifestyle and fitness, talent,
and evening gown.
Contestants, along with 14
Little Miss North Stars, and
out-going royalty Katie
Peterson were also featured
in a lively show number that
kicked off the pageant.
Ogden won the personal
interview division, which
consists of a 10 minute private
interview held with the
panel of five judges in the
afternoon prior to the pageant.
The judges were
beyond impressed with
Ogden’s interview skills –
she commanded the room
immediately and clearly had
mature and well-informed
ideas and opinions. Not surprisingly,
Ogden also won
the on-stage question division
of the pageant. She also
tied for the lifestyle and fitness
division, along with
McKaela Larson of
Crookston.
Chandler Kallock of East
Grand Forks was awarded
the winner of the talent division
with her tap dance
number, “Stuff Like That
There.” Kallock has danced
for many years and put on
an entertaining show for the
audience. She was also
named first runner-up.
Michelle Lorenson of
Strathcona was the winner
of the evening gown division
with her black dress that
made an impressive statement
as soon as she hit the
stage. She was named second
runner-up.
Emily Carlson of Roseau
was the recipient of the Miss
Congeniality award and
McKaela Larson took home
the People’s Choice award.
Taylor Myers was this year’s
Miracle Maker raising $506
for the Miss America organization’s
national platform,
Children’s Miracle Network.
The pageant also featured
14 Little Miss North Stars
who participated in the show
number and were each introduced
and crowned on stage.
Prior to the pageant, the
girls spent an afternoon with
many positive role models at
a tea party – the guest of
honor being the newly
crowned Miss Minnesota
2013, Rebecca Yeh.
Yeh made her first local
pageant appearance at the
Miss North Star pageant.
She wowed the audience
with her impressive violin
abilities. Katie Peterson of
Middle River gave up her
crown after serving northwest
Minnesota in the most
impressive of ways by constantly
promoting her platform
and raising over $5,000
for Children’s Miracle
Network during her reign.
Ogden will make her first
appearance as Miss North
Star at Holt’s Blue Moon
Days and will also be busy
during the many area
Fourth of July festivities
and upcoming county fairs.
Ogden will also spend her
year preparing for the 2014
Miss Minnesota pageant and
promoting her platform,
“Empower Women: Creating
Catalysts of Sustainable
Change.” Along with being
awarded the crown, Ogden is
also the recipient of the $500
Miss North Star scholarship,
a one-semester tuition waiver
from Northland
Community and Technical
College, and a $150 interview
division winner scholarship
from Central Boiler.
It should be noted that the
Miss America organization
is the largest contributor of
scholarship dollars to
women in the world!
