Miss North Star O’Brien Stromsodt heads to Miss Minnesota Competition

O’Brien Stromsodt, 2021 Miss North Star, was honored at a sendoff as she continues her journey at the Miss Minnesota Competition June 25 & 26. The event was hosted by the Miss North Star committee and held at the First Lutheran Church in Middle River. The audience enjoyed seeing all of O’Brien’s competition wardrobe (including voting on earring and shoe choices!), listening to her talent and observing her in a mock interview with the audience asking the questions. This was a very intimate visit with O’Brien as the audience learned about her pageant journey and gained insight into her motivation, goals and life lessons learned. Since competition wardrobe is not revealed to the public until the competition, the Honker will feature this next week as the competition is underway. For the talent portion of the pageant, O’Brien will be playing Solfeggietto by CPE Bach. She is pictured here with the North Star committee, Rachel Bukowski, Marlene Peterson, Kara Super-Peterson, KayDell Super, and Mindy Bukowski. Following the event, a coffee and dessert bar was served by the committee.

O’Brien has chosen her nieces Addi Stromsodt and Kennedi Fast as her Northern Lights Princesses to be special guests at the Miss Minnesota Pageant. Since this year’s protocol has eliminated the appearance on stage for the crowning, Miss North Star did the official crowning at the Sendoff.

O’Brien’s extended family was in full force in support of her Miss Minnesota journey. FRONT: Kennedi-Jo Fast, Addysen Stromsodt, Layne Olson.
