It's finally here! Tonight was the first night of Prelims for the girls. It's just 10 minutes shy of midnight and I probably should be in bed or planning my outfit for tomorrow :) But, I had to tell you about tonight before that. All 17 girls competed in all 4 phases tonight. Here's the run down of tonight's prelim awards:

Talent: Brooke Killgarrif - Miss Twin Cities

Swimsuit: Kelsey Malecha - Miss Mankato

Photogenic: Sarah Anderson - Miss Waseca

Miss America Community Service and Quality of Life: Quinn Nystrom - Miss Midwest

Academic: Danielle Tamke - Miss Winona

A pretty fantastic group of young ladies! Sara and Brooke both looked wonderful. They rocked their talents! Tomorrow night we see who makes Top 10! Follow me on Twitter to get all the details! :)
