Jr Miss - December

Lenexa Christmas Lighting
Allie began December by appearing at the Lenexa Christmas Lighting. Allie and Mrs Kansas Stephanie Leibengood helped Santa and area children turn on the lights in downtown Lenexa. After the lighting ceremony Allie was a personal shopper in the childrens store. She helped kids pick out Christmas gifts for their family and friends. She thought that was a fun job.


Chain of Hope & Leavenworth Pageant
Allie set up a donation table at a local grocery store to collect items for Chain of Hope whose primary goal is to alleviate the suffering of abused and neglected animals within the urban core of Kansas City. Their ultimate goal is to break the chain of ignorance, break the chain of suffering, and break the chain of unwanted litters.

Allie attended the Leavenworth pageant to watch her sister Katie compete. While she was there she had the opportunity to meet Leslie Carillo the reigning Miss Kansas Outstanding Teen. Allie was so excited when Leslie knew who Allie was and asked her for her picture and autograph.


Teen/Miss Kansas USA & Blanket Drop off
We traveled to Wichita to watch the Teen/Miss Kansas USA pageant. It was alot of fun being able to watch girls we know competing for the Kanas title.

Allie and her sister Katie also dropped off some toys and the blankets they had made over Thanksgiving break to a local toy drive benefiting Childrens Mercy Hospital.
