Spotlight on...Savannah Kalnoski!

We would like to welcome Savannah Kalnoski, your 2014 Jr. Miss Royalty International Mini Spirit, to the MRI family! 

Savannah Kalnoski, Jr. Miss Royalty International Mini-Spirit

Savannah has had the unique opportunity to compete in her very first pageant with her mom, Summer.  They took lots of pictures together and made memories that will last a lifetime at the Miss Royalty International pageant.  We are so fortunate to have been able to be a part of this everlasting memory for this dynamic mother/daughter duo, who travelled all the way from Alaksa!  Get to know Savannah a little bit more in our exclusive interview below:

MRI: Savannah, what do you like to do in your spare time?

Savannah: I like to sing, dance and hang out with my friends. I love to get dressed up but I also really like to get out and play on snowmachines and 4 wheelers. I love camping and the smell of smores from the campfire.
 
MRI: What is your favorite hobby?
 Savannah: I love doing art projects! Painting, drawing, I just like to create.
 
MRI: What did you do to prepare for the pageant?
 Savannah: I practiced! I practiced everything from walking to holding my head up and making sure I smiled big. I also worked on mock interview questions and a lot of dress fittings!

Savannah looks like a princess in her formal wear dress.

MRI: What is one piece of advice you have for next years contestants?
 Savannah: Have fun and have confidence in yourself!
 
MRI: What is your favorite vacation spot?
 Savannah: California, because there is so much to do there.
 
MRI: What is your fondest memory:
 Savannah: Hearing Michelle call my name as Miss Royalty International Spirit

MRI: What makes Miss Royalty International different from any other pageant you've been in?
 Savannah: Well since Miss Royalty International was my first pageant I don't know much about other pageants but Ms. Michelle and Ms. Cheryl make sure everyone feels special and has the best time ever. It is a time I will never forget for sure!  

                                         

Here are some pictures of Savannah at the Miss Royalty International pageant!

Spotlight on...Summer Kalnoski-Dicarlo!

Introducing the beautiful, kind-hearted, SUMMER KALNOSKI-DICARLO, Mrs. Royalty International Mini-Spirit.   Get to know Summer in our exclusive interview below:

Summer Dicarlo - Mrs. Royalty International Mini-Spirit

 

MRI: What do you like to do in your spare time?
 Summer: As a very busy mother of two I'm not sure I have much spare time! As a family we keep very busy, always seems we are on the go but for the most part we do everything together as a family and that is my favorite way to spend my time. I like to get outdoors and ride 4 wheelers, go zip lining and I love rock climbing. I play soccer and get really excited about doing arts and crafts and I will always make time to help and be involved in my childrens' schools and charity organizations within my community.

     

 

Summer DiCarlo, Mrs. Royalty International Mini-Spirit

   
   

MRI: What is your favorite hobby?
 Summer: That's a four way tie between rock climbing, at home science experiments, hand making things (arts& crafts) and photography!  I take pictures of everything!  I honestly cant say that I enjoy one more than the other for any of these


 
MRI: What did you do to prepare for the pageant?
 Summer: To prepare for Miss Royalty International I thought about my wardrobe a lot and and put together my outfits to make sure I was achieving the look I wanted. This was the furthest I had ever traveled for a pageant so far; Alaska to Wisconsin. I wanted to make sure that the pieces I chose would travel well and also make sure I had everything I might need for the unexpected. This was also the first time I would be participating in a pageant along with my daughter and her very first pageant!  I was so excited for her I wanted to make sure this was a wonderful experience for her.

Summer and her daughter Savannah both won Miss Royalty International titles!

MRI: What is one piece of advice you have for next years contestants?
 Summer: I would tell them to be confident in yourself.  Confidence is beautiful and it shines through. Have fun!! Make new friends and allow yourself to enjoy every moment of your weekend with Miss Royalty International. It is really something amazing and you will make unforgettable memories.

MRI: What is your favorite vacation spot?
 Summer: That depends. I personally love going to Hawaii and just spending the days at the beach in the sun and the sand. As a family, though, I would have to say California. We have family there and it is very nice to visit with them, with so much to do everyday.  It is an adventure!  Disney Land, Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Wine Country, the Lakers... There really is something new everyday for everyone.

MRI: What is your fondest memory?
 Summer: The day my daughter was born and I became a mother for the first time. I will never forget the emotions I felt and the first time I held her in my arms. My whole world had changed and it was wonderful! 

MRI: What makes Miss Royalty International different from any other pageant you've been in?
 Summer: Miss Royalty International is so much more than a pageant; it is a celebration! It's an experience like no other. From start to finish, Miss Royalty International is an amazing weekend you will never forget. Cheryl and Michelle go above and beyond to ensure that every contestant has an unforgettable time and feels just like a queen. From the first moment you inquire about the pageant, it is apparent how kind and caring Ms. Cheryl is and that's just the beginning. Every step of the way she is there to answer questions; cheer you on and offer support and encouragement. Cheryl and Michelle are no strangers to the pageant world and know very well what it is like to be the contestant and trust me when I say they have taken from their own memory to make Miss Royalty International the most comfortable and inviting pageant. Throwing a fun dance party after interviews to help shake off the nerves before the next days stage competition makes everyone feel so wonderful and refreshed, and all the extra awards and gifts that are provided really do ensure that win or lose you will not leave empty handed. It's the care and respect that these ladies give out that shine through in the contestants. You will meet some of the most amazing ladies from all over and make some spectacular friendships that will last long after the pageant or any reign.  


Wow, such kind words from Summer.  Thank you so much for being such a wonderful representative for Miss Royalty International.  Get to know Summer more by taking a peek at the pictures of her below:
