We've got so much to tell you! 😆 Check back each day for more info! First off, we have so many thanks we need to give!
❤Thank you all for believing in our dreams and supporting our local business! We are honored to have so many people reach out to us, come to watch us, stream the competition online, and vote for us!!
❤A HUGE thank you to our families! Our husbands have been incredibly supportive of all of our silly schemes, have built our props, have dealt with mom-less nights and very full kid's activity schedules! We couldn't do this without you!
❤ Thank you to all of the businesses that have given us guidance and support through this competition! Millers of Claflin made sure we knew about this opportunity and encouraged us every step of the way. Marketing Maven for being our mentor, providing feedback on our pitch, helping us improve our marketing strategies, and encouraging us to let our personalities shine through!
❤Thank you to our fellow competitors! Great Bend Play Place, The Zarah Coffee Shop, and Shop Sugar Co. We expected backstage to be full of nerves and anxiety (and there was plenty of that) but there was also camaraderie as small local businesses. Oh and a lot of silliness! We even contemplated a surprise wardrobe change for the finale! 🤣
❤Finally, thank you to Great Bend Economic Development for hosting this opportunity! We are honored to be your Ignite 2026 First Place and People's Choice award!
