Don't you just love this photo of me? My 4 year old grand daughter & 10 year old grandson are in pageants as some here know. Well at this years State Finals I was given a very nice surprise from the woman that runs the pageants. I was crowned as 2012 Minnesota Grandpa. This is the crown that was placed on me by the womans daughter. All her kids call me grandpa as well. So I have a long run as MN King Grandpa to look forward to. Parades, community service and pageant appearances. Have you ever been officially been crowned in any type of pageant?

It wasn't anything I ran for or tried out for. It was an act of thanks basically for the work I do with the kids at events, parades, and pageants. I basically keep the kids active & busy while important things are being done setting up & preparing for parades, pageants, and other events. The kids all call me grandpa now for the most part & I love it. Tell more about the costume and or act you mentioned? Please? LOL!

I bet her costume had something to do with Sci fi or Dr. Who.

Nope, I have never been crowned. It is great that you are so respected and looked up to. I did not know your grandson was doing pageants as well. Keep up the good work, the world needs more grandpas.

The title wasn't contested by anyone. It was a thoughtful & beautiful act of thanks for my work keeping the kids busy and out of the adults hair for the most part!! Grats to you as well. $500 in High School was a lot of money. WTG!

You surely are very deserving of this crown and title. I think it's just wonderful for you and for all the kids.
I've never been in a pageant, so no...I've never been in one.

hi dear GrandpaBob Congrats from over the big puddle here too. You are such a lovable person and we all know how much you love your grandkids. You are building a set of loving caring memories for them to remember later on so you are the perfect choice for the Grandpa of the Year.
