September 1st- IPE Parade and Fair

Nissan Vernon car dealership was nice enough to sponsor a vehicle and driver for me to participate in the IPE (Interior Provincial Exhibition) parade, my FIRST parade as Miss International Volunteer 2019! It was such an honor to have my first parade e a local one!

Thank you Taylor for driving me ❤

Then after the Parade, Mom and I went to the Fair! Which as usual was amazing, thought the Faris wheel is nowhere comparable to the one we rode in Seattle in July!

And I tried the infamous horse blankets, for the first time haha!

September 8th- Salmon Arm Fair Parade

An event I try to do annually is the Salmon Arm Fair Parade, I lived in Salmon Arm for a year and went to the fair for most of my childhood.

I arrived thinking I was going to be with the fireman, but instead, I was put on a beautiful car by which is a part of the Vintage Car Club of Canada, and his owner Duff was more than happy to have me on board!!

My outfit matched the car even though I had no idea. Before the parade, I had my photo taken with some medal winners from the Special Olympics.
