So, let's see what happens when Trinity Luttrell visits Section 36!

How did you celebrate winning the Miss Heritage Days’ Teen crown?

My parents gave me a huge bouquet of white roses. And my Glammy ( Yes!, that’s what us grandkids call her) & Pappy came along with a few cousins.

What part of the upcoming Miss Maryland’s Teen competition are you most nervous about?

Talent.

What has been the biggest surprise about your time as Miss Heritage Days’ Teen?

How I had to take my title earned and use it for the good throughout my year of service. Lastly, the expenses since I’m a festival title holder. There are no sponsors vs competing in a local, meaning my sash and everything else comes out pocket.

How did you select your CSI, “Cards for Heroes”?

My great grandfather was a WW2 navy veteran and I wanted to bring awareness to service members and active duty with some positivity and say thank you. 

If you could be a Disney character for a week, who would you choose? Why?

Belle, because I resemble her and because she doesn’t judge the Beast on his his appearance on the outside but the heart he did have within.

If you had an extra ticket to see the Red Sox play the Orioles, who would you take with you? Why?

My Dad since he’s a Birds fan.

That sounds like fun!

Kennady Tooke Visits Section 36!

Section 36 had another visitor! Kennady Tooke is passionate about helping disabled veterans, a talented singer, and the current Miss Mount Pleasant. I was so excited that she was willing to visit with us to discuss those topics, and a few more.

So, let's see what happens when Kennady Tooke visits Section 36!

How did you celebrate winning the Miss Mount Pleasant crown?

Following the crowning of Miss Mount Pleasant with my family and friends at Nardellos!! This was the cutest little Pizza joint in Mount Pleasant, Texas. They had live music and even recognized me with congratulations! 

Do you have a specific goal you’d like to accomplish during your time as Miss Mount Pleasant?

A specific goal that I personally want to focus on and continue to build my Social Impact on, is continuing to connect Disabled Veterans, in East Texas & Mount Pleasant, with the lacking resources! I strive to build on Set Out. Salute. Support. by working alongside veteran support groups to find all of the best places for our nations disabled veterans. 

What part of the upcoming Miss Texas competition are you most nervous about?

I am most nervous about my private interview. I feelcomfortable getting on stage and showing the crowd my personality. I don’t feel as comfortable leading up to my interview because of how personal I get to be with the judges. 

How did you select your social impact initiative?

I come from a HUGE military family. My appreciation for veterans come from growing up watching and learning from my dad, grandpa and various uncles. I saw how difficult it was for both my Dad and Grandpa to receive proper benefits following their service. I couldn’t be more grateful for all they’ve done and so if I can do anything, it would be giving back to veterans for as long as I can! 

As a talented singer, what do you enjoy most performing on stage?

I personally love being able to sing a song and feel everything the songs says. I love bringing to life the emotions that come from the lyrics. Singing out to a crowd and seeing their eyes full with emotion brings be greater joy.

How would you finish the sentence, “I get great satisfaction when ___”?

I get great satisfaction when I can impact the lives of others by raising a voice for them. Knowing I can speak out for those who also can make a difference in the world brings me peace.

If you could be a Disney Character for a week, who would you choose? Why?

If I could be any Disney character, I would be Mulan. I have always admired Mulan for her dedication to her father’s legacy and her family. As a woman, she was born into a traditional life and chose she wanted more for herself. She didn’t want others to decide her future so she made it for herself. She used her grit and determination and proved a woman is more than capable of anything she puts her mind to. 

If you had an extra ticket to an Astros-Rangers baseball game, who would you take with you? Why?

I would take my dad to the game! One of my fondest memories of my childhood is of my Dad coaching me in T-ball and G-ball! Even though we’re rooting for different teams, I appreciate the bond we share with sports.

Is there a feature or activity at a baseball game that you’d especially like to experience?

I always have dreamed about singing the National Anthem or throwing the first pitch of the game!

Either of those would be a ton of fun!

As usual, I want to thank Kennady for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to go with the interview.

As Kennady continues her time as Miss Mount Pleasant, I encourage you to check out her title's Instagram account! It's a great way to keep track of everything she has going on! 

I also want to wish Kennady luck when she competes for Miss Texas! It would be fantastic to have the first Section 36 Forever wear that crown.

Thanks again Kennady, and good luck!

Sarah Corrow Visits Section 36!

Section 36 has another visitor! Sarah Corrow is passionate about supporting veterans, a talented singer, and the current Miss Exeter. I was thrilled that she was willing to visit with us to discuss those topics, and a few more!

So, let's see what happens when Sarah Corrow visits Section 36!

How did you celebrate winning the Miss Exeter crown?

I celebrated winning the Miss Exeter crown with my new sister titleholders at our pageant directors house! Everyone was so excited, and little exhausted, but we spent the night chatting about our plans for the year and laughing together. The next morning I went out to breakfast with my Mom, Dad, Sister, and Grandmother. It was great to be able to celebrate with them, as they are always my biggest supporters! 

 

What did you learn about yourself during the Miss Exeter competition that will help you at Miss New Hampshire?

Miss Exeter was my first ever competition, so I was super nervous. I learned that it is okay to be nervous because it means you care, and the most important thing is to be yourself and have fun! I also was so lucky to have been competing with the kindest, most amazing women in the world. I truly don’t know if I could have done it without them. I’m so excited to be able to go to Miss New Hampshire with them in the spring! 

 

Do you have a specific goal you’d like to accomplish during your time as Miss Exeter?

My overall goal this year as Miss Exeter is getting out into the community as much as possible and volunteering my time. I am especially hoping to volunteer a lot of my time to the local Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) in the area. My social impact, What it Means to Serve, is advocacy for Military Veterans and their families. One of my goals is to not only volunteer my time to VSOs, but specifically tp offer free programming to military families in New Hampshire. 

 

How did you select your social impact initiative, “What it Means to Serve: Supporting Veterans and Their Families”?

As the daughter of two Army officers, selecting my social impact initiative was simple for me! I moved around 7 times as a child, sometimes every year and even to other countries. It was hard making that transition, especially when we moved to locations that didn’t have other military families that I could relate to. My goal is to offer programming, like hiking, surfing, and theme park trips, along with offering performing arts classes, for military children to come together to create a community in New Hampshire!

 

You’re heavily involved in theatre. What do you enjoy most about being on stage?

What I most enjoy about being onstage, and performing in general, is the opportunity to bring happiness and entertainment to others. When I was growing up, I would beg my parents to go see plays and musicals. Afterwards, I would carry that excitement and joy that I saw in the show with me for weeks. That is what I hope to bring others with my performances and appearances on stage! 

 

If you could be a Disney character for a week, who would you choose? Why?

That is a tough question, but I would choose to be Rapunzel from Tangled. She not only craves adventure, but has the passion and drive to do whatever it takes to achieve her dreams! Rapunzel also felt isolated as a child, but ended up finding an unlikely community of friends through a shared experience. I think that is something all military children can relate to! 

 

You had the opportunity to spend some time in London. What was that experience like?

Studying abroad in London was a dream come true. I had visited a couple times before when I was living in Germany, and from those visits I knew I wanted to live there at some point in my life. Though I wasn’t living there full time, I really felt immersed in the culture of the city and with the diversity of the people who live there. I was also able to see ten plays/musicals when I was there, which was a blessing as a Musical Theatre Major. I still hope to live there full time someday!

 

If you had an extra ticket to see a Red Sox game, who would you take with you? Why?

If I had an extra ticket to see a Red Sox game I would definitely bring my dad! My dad was a baseball player all through high school, and has a huge collection of baseball cards. Going to professional baseball games was a special part of his childhood, and I would love to share that with him! 

 

Is there a feature or activity during a game at Fenway that you’d especially like to experience?

As a singer, I of course love when they play “Sweet Caroline”! It is a classic song, it looks so fun, and kind of beautiful, to sing-along to a song with an entire stadium of people!

That’s definitely a lot of fun!

As always, I want to thank Sarah for visiting with us, and for sending along the wonderful pictures to go with the interview.
