Larrison thankful for amazing opportunity
My name is Maddie Larrison , and I am the 2019-20 West Lafayette Homecoming junior queen . I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity . I made so many wonderful memories as I traveled across Ohio promoting the West Lafayette Homecoming . It has been an honor to be the 2019-20 West Lafayette Homecoming junior queen .
My favorite festivals were the Geneva Grape Jamboree and the London Strawberry Festival . I loved Geneva because it was so pretty , and the grape juice was really delicious . The London Strawberry Festival had yummy strawberry cake , and it was so exciting to watch the new London strawberry queen being crowned . One of my favorite memories was when our court wore canal dresses to the Coshocton Canal Days Apple Butter Stirrin ’ Festival . This festival was really special because my friend Ava was princess attendant .
I would like to thank everyone who helped make my year as junior queen so special . Thank you to the West Lafayette Chamber of Commerce and our queen director Shanna Weaver for making this experience possible . I also would like to thank Queen Destiny Sesser and our entire court for a wonderful year and so many fun memories . I would like to thank my
