Like Indiana State Fair Queen Denae Pyle. Now I have never met a queen before, but let me tell you… this queen does the fair up right. She was having a ball and making sure everyone around her was too. You can just tell she is the perfect gal for the job.

She and Miss Add were fast friends!

On our way over to the parade, Miss Add got a special unexpected surprise. She got to meet Buttercup!

Let’s just say Miss Add gave her mama a run for her money in that department…

Miss Add was on a quest though… a quest to meet Porkchop…

    oh man. I seriously want some pulled pork right now. I've got a beef roast in the crockpot – was going to do french dips, but may have to do bbq beef instead.

    And you guys totally deserved to win! Your video was great!
