News From The State Queens

I am so excited to be part of the forestry family again! I would like to thank Mrs. Dianne for the awesome gifts that she had in my gift baskets. I can't wait to use my new luggage, bathrobe, and blanket that has Miss Georgia Forestry monogrammed on them. I love my chair that says "Miss Georgia Forestry 2007!" I am very excited about all of the appearances that I will be making this year and about representing Georgia's number one industry, Forestry! I am looking forward to working with my new sister queens Ava, Yasmin, Amber Brooke, Madison, Emerald, and Brittany! We are going to have a lot of fun this year and we'll do a great job!
