REARDAN--Colleen Ellis received the Miss Reardan-Edwall crown from the former Queen Emma Wiedmer at a surprise ceremony following Easter Sunday services at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Reardan April 17.
Ellis may be the new ambassador for Reardan, but she has already been representing her hometown by playing flute in the local high school marching and pep band since middle school, playing on Reardan softball teams since kindergarten and achieving academically through being an honor roll student.
She said it is important to have Reardan represented at the various Lincoln County parades in return for their participation in the Mule Days celebration.
Her float theme, "Beyond the Stars" will first appear in May with the band at Spokane's Lilac Torchlight Parade.
She will be welcoming neighboring royalty to her hometown community celebration, Mule Days, the first Saturday in June.
Colleen is the daughter of Johanna and Bob Ellis and granddaughter of Rod and Joan Ellis-Boner of Spokane and Hal and Nancy Johnson of Mondovi.
