Lending a Hand

Last weekend at the Miss Keene Area/ Kearsarge Valley (a case where one pageant is held but two crowns are awarded to the top two scorers) I got to get a taste of what it is like being a director of a pageant.  I helped with coordinating things before hand, preparing judges gift bags, choreographing opening number, and helping backstage.  Now if you've been following me for a while, you know I was crowned Miss Keene Area in Feb. 2010 so it was nice to be able to help out my former director, Marion Murray who is a long-time  volunteer of the scholarship program.

By the way, the show was fantastic.  It was themed after the braodway show "The Wiz."  Miss NH 2011, Regan Hartley sang a couple of times and was absolutely amazing.  Seriously-  One of the most gifted singers ever.

Congrats to the NEW Miss Kearsarge, (my good friend) Katrina Ulaky and Miss Keene Area, Krtistin Crossland (her first Miss America local crown.)

PGA Playoffs Stop in New England

I was so excited to cover the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Mass. on Labor Day.  I got to talk to Rickie Fowler, Phil Mickelson, and the winner of this stop of the Fed Ex Cup Playoffs, Webb Simpson.  (Unfortunately I didn't get to chat with one of my favorites- Adam Scott due to a throat illness.)  It was incredible to be at this event, a sport that I play and have a lot of respect for.  This was very different from the LPGA Futures tour stop in NH that I helped to organize two years ago, with tons more fans and crowd control.  Many people were waiting to get autographs from the big names, for hours. 
I was particularly impressed with Fowler, who not only signed dozens of hats and balls but seemed very down to earth in our chat.  Check out a snippet of my interview with him....

Softball Game for Charity

 Phil Pesce Photo

Milan Lucic hosted his 2nd annual Rock N Jock charity softball game.  He was joined by teammates Horton, Bergeron, Seidenberg, Thornton, Paille, Rask, as well as many former Bruins.  The stands were packed and each time a Bruins player went up to bat, the crowd went nuts.  It was nice to see so much support from fans all decked out in Bruins apparel.  The event raised $10,000 for the Celebrities for Charity foundation.

Red Bull Cliff Diving & Sox Prospects

I have never seen anything like the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series.  These divers were coming from a 92 foot platform above the ocean doing tricks, turns and pulling out moves I have never seen before.  Fan Pier was packed with spectators and boats, canoes packed into the harbor to catch the action.  Fourteen competitors fought for six spots in the finals, where the top three were awarded cash prizes and points.  Through the season, seven competitions take place around the world.  The athlete with the greatest amount of points gets the title.  This was the coolest...

 We heard from Will Middlebrooks and Alex Wilson not too long ago at the EL All-Star game.  There was a reason you saw them there.  Both were called up last week to the AAA Paw Sox.  I talked to them at the Futures at Fenway game to chat about their excitement for the call...
