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