The Penguin Plunge!

1-24-2010 Sorry guys, i have not updated my page in a while! But I'm here now to talk about the Wonderful (but cold) cause, The Penguin Plunge. I was on Miss Bristol's court team, called Queens Rule, we had many supporters donating for this cause towards our team and we luckily raised 1000 dollars! Great job team-mates, and thank you to everyone who donated to our team and to The Penguin Plunge. This is an event i will never forget, it was truly heart touching how many people donated and came to this fundraising event! For those who don't know much about The Plunge, it is designed to raise money for the Special Olympics in Connecticut. They are Plunges held at different places in Connecticut, their motto is "Freezin' for a Reason!" And freezing is exactly right, as soon as our team jumped into the ice cold lake water we could feel how cold it actually was. I would totally do it again, it's a great memory and a great cause! Our whole team actually jumped into the water even our petite Miss Bristol, Paige Levesque jumped in. We had more people join us in the water from our crowned girls' relatives, Grace, Alana's little sister, and Kristina Mazzone's brother. Alana actually held two Miss Bristol titles before this as, petite and little Miss Bristol so she gave her sister a crown to wear for the day! We all had a lot of fun and were happy to donate and encourage others to be aware about Connecticut's Special Olympics. Here's the link to the Special Olympics event, The Penguin Plunge: http://www.soct.org/plunges/ I hope you check it out and get inspired to support this cause and raise money!

Thanks you! Sincerely,

Your Teen Miss Bristol, Cheyenne O'Donnell

Breakfast with Santa

Dec-5-2009 This event was at Giammatti at 8am! We all plus Miss Mum(Jessica Laprise) went to have a breakfast with Santa and the many children that came. Right as we got there we gave toys, that we raised from the toy drive, to Giammatti on the table full of many toys that people had brought for kids. Then soon after, as people were filling in, we set up a table for arts and crafts for kids to write a letter to Santa, Mrs.Claus, the reindeer or whoever. Kalee, and I went around the tables as soon people were done eating to bring them over to make a Christmas card! Paige, Sarina, and Alana stayed at the table to help with arts and crafts. Jessica went around to tables giving a nice holiday coloring book to each family. After recruiting people to make cards the kitchen needed Miss Bristol's help; they got her working right away bringing plates to tables of seconds, and filling cups for orange juice. The kitchen just busier and they needed more help so I tagged along taking plates of yummy strawberry filled cups to tables. That was the debut of my waitress career.

The food was really good, it consisted of: waffles, sausage, eggs, bacon, accompanied with juice or milk. After everyone ate there was a few things the families and kids could do: sing with the other crowned Miss Bristols who also tagged along with fun karaoke for kids to sing, pictures with Santa, or arts and crafts! I could tell how excited all the kids were and they were awesome at singing and making crafts:)

One of the most fun things at the event was when Alana's mom and Sarina's dad had a coloring page competition, whoever could make the best picture, i think Alana's mom won that contest. I tagged along coloring with Sarina's brother, I colored a reindeer. It was just a fun filled day!

P.s Yes that's the reindeer I colored!
