Tuesday, I was excited to join a fundraiser for the American
Cancer Society at Larry’s Pizza in Bryant! I was a part of the celebrity crew that served pizza and
refilled drinks in return for donations to American Cancer Society! Several of the celebrities included Steve
“Wildman” Wilson, Roger Scott from The Buzz Radio Station,
Jennifer Stafford-Hines from KSSN Radio, Shane Broadway from the Arkansas
Department of Higher Education, Bryant Mayor Jill Dabbs, and more local
business and school leaders. Wildman
and Roger were constantly battling over who raised the most donations, and
Wildman would blow a duck call every time he was handed cash. Wildman was tickled to hear that I was
Queen Mallard in 2008, a beloved title in the duck hunting metropolis of Stuttgart. In fact, he began introducing me as
Queen Mallard instead of Miss Arkansas!
What an interesting night!
We had signs on our back explaining who we were!
We raised $6,319!! But let me tell you… we worked hard for those
donations! Carrying around large
pizzas for three hours was exhausting!
Towards the end of the night, I accidentally dropped a slice of Meat
Lovers pizza on a small boy in a high chair. I was so embarrassed and tried to comb the pepperonis and
beef out of his hair. Thankfully,
his parents joked and said, “Even with pepperoni in his hair, he is probably
cleaner now than he usually is!”
I will be participating in a second celebrity waiter fundraiser
for American Cancer Society on September 27 at the Loca Luna and Red Door
Restaurants in Little Rock. Hope
to see you there… and I promise to practice on my waitressing skills before
then!
This week ended with my birthday! My family spent the weekend on Lake Hamilton and it was so nice. Thank you to all of my friends and family for making it a very special day! Now… back to studying! I have my first two tests this week. Ah!
My family took a sunset boat ride on Lake Hamilton!
