One day my mom heard an advertisement on the radio about The Arizona Milk Producers holding a contest to become a Half-Pint Judge at the Fiesta Bowl Parade! They asked for a video submission on what my favorite dairy product was and why. I made a video about how much I love chocolate milk and I even did a back bend to show how much energy it gives me!

I had no idea whether I was going to win or not. I was so anxious to find out that I kept asking my mom if she got an email yet. Finally, she got an email announcing that I was one of the winners! I was so excited that I told everyone in my family, all my friends, and even my teacher.

We were invited to several events. First, we were interviewed on Channel 3 News! Then my family and I got to go to a celebrity breakfast before the parade and we met Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury and USA National Soccer player Julie Ertz!

During the Fiesta Bowl Parade, the other Half-Pint judges and I got to see the floats up close. Then we got to choose which one we liked the most and why, and we were featured on Channel 3 news again! The parade was so much fun and I had a really great time. It is a memory that I will never forget!
