Her memories of the Strawberry Festival include the Grand Parade, the Market in the Park and other activities which helped her decide to compete for a royalty candidate position as soon as she was old enough. Having the benefit of personally knowing some of the past Queens, Chesney knew that she wanted to be part of the Festival.

On the circuit this year, Chesney expects to have FUN! She looks forward to meeting bunches of new people.

Her favorite memory of the Strawberry Festival came last year when her Cheer Squad was in the Grand Parade. Doing stunts, tumbling and cheering for tens of thousands of spectators was a blast for her and her group. She considers it a real honor to represent her school.

Chesney’s role model is Katie Couric. She thinks that Katie has such a great personality. Depsite the loss of her husband, Katie has endured and still has a joyful demeanor about her. She also has what Chesney would consider her “dream job”. She would love to take her place and be a news host for a day.

Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho is in the future works for this busy young woman. Chesney hopes to major in Elementary Education with a minor in Kinesiology.

Her advice for future Royalty Candidates? Be flexible! Get involved! Take every opportunity you can to participate in the community. Most importantly – have FUN! Remember that you are only Royalty once, so make the most of it.
