A new program is being introduced this year for the Kenyon Rose Fest, which will be held August 13-17. This is an opportunity for young ladies who would like to represent the community. A Kenyon Rose Fest Ambassador will serve as a positive role model, attend and volunteer at local events, engage with residents while also promoting the town and festival in neighboring communities.
This position is open to young women who are sixteen years of age by August 1st of the festival year and no older than nineteen years old. They must live within the Kenyon-Wanamingo school district or be enrolled in Kenyon Wanamingo High School.
A candidate can apply at https://forms.gle/qh4gZ6YDervyPEp16. They can also find this link on our facebook page (Kenyon Rose Fest Ambassadors) and in our bio on our Instagram (@kenyonambassadors).
The deadline to apply to be a candidate is May 18th.
Candidates will go through a 2-month long candidacy where they will learn the history of Kenyon, Rose Fest, volunteer in the community and work on their personal development while attending other fun events. They will be interviewed and observed by a group of judges who will then select 3 candidates at coronation to continue on as Rose Fest Ambassadors. This will be on Wednesday, August 13th at Cahill Bistro & Bar in Kenyon at 6pm. These three newly selected Ambassadors will then attend and volunteer at Rose Fest events.
During their year, the Ambassadors will attend neighboring festivals representing Rose Fest, making connections with other Ambassadors and community leaders while also continuing to build their resume and a lifetime of memories.

Some of the dreams for this program are as follows:
-Have a real float
-Make it a scholarship program
-Have enough community support to send a candidate to compete for the Aquatennial Queen of the Lakes in Minneapolis.
