There are no crowns on Angie and Rob Anderson’s heads, however, they were the heros of the weekend. They are the proprietors, organizers, planners, and “hosts extraordinaire” of the beautiful Venue at Copper Ridge. Every person involved with the dual pageant weekend was treated like royalty and their wonderful new venue was the talk of the local and state area. What a great addition to our northwest corner of the state! Thank you Angie and Rob!u The pageant committee pictured with the newly crowned Miss North Star and Miss Glacial Waters.
