It was such a pleasure to watch all the talented and beautiful young women in the Madison Distinguised Young Woman program last Saturday at Madison High School Performing Arts Center. Our friend and neighbor, Annie Brown, was chosen as the first runner-up and her friend, Catherine Hinck, was chosen as the Distinguished Young Woman for this year!  What a dynamic duo! You go girls! This brought back fond memories of when our daughter, Janel Esplin Hafen, won the Snake River, then Idaho Junior Miss title and we were able to watch her in Mobile Alabama at the national competition. What a great program for young women to learn and grow in so many ways. It truly is not just a beauty pageant… but a “scholarship program.”  🙂
