Proclamation ceremony with Gov. Lynch
March 29th: Governor Lynch signed the official proclamation making the month of April in the state of New Hampshire Distracted Driving Awareness Month! Thank you so much Governor Lynch for listening to our stories and efforts to make the New Hampshire roads a safer place. The more awareness we can bring to distracted driving the more lives and injuries we can help prevent. Governor Lynch also proudly raised his DNT TXT N DRV thumb band with our group. Happy Distracted Driving Awareness Month!
St. Patrick's Day Parade
March 25th: One of the annual appearances for the reigning Miss Manchester is participating in the Manchester, NH St. Patrick's Day Parade. I ran into Congressman Frank Guinta and his two kids, got to drive the Manchester SWAT truck, met some bagpipe players, chatted with police on horseback and the Manchester Monarch's Mascot! Thank you so much to Paul's Executive Car Care for letting Miss Manchester ride in style.
