Why do you wish to be an Eagan Funfest Ambassador?

I wish to be an Eagan Funfest Ambassador for many reasons. For one, it sounds like an amazingly unforgettable experience. Also, I would love to be doing more volunteer work. Lastly, I am excited to gain strong relationships with new people and try new things.

Favorite Eagan Activities:

Eagan has many features that I enjoy. During the summer, I like to go swim and relax at Cascade Bay and Shultz Beach/Lake. In the winter, I enjoy going to Lebanon Hills to cross country ski with my mom. I’ve also been in the city’s theater shows and Park & Rec tennis.

Candidate Information:

I participate in: JO volleyball, volunteer altar serving at church, school choir, student council, swimming at the Eagan YMCA, school musical, and camps over the summer.
