The Court has had a very busy week and it's not slowing down any time soon. We are so impressed with the way the ladies are balancing their school, Lilac and personal schedules. They are arriving to each event with just as much enthusiasm and genuineness as the one before.
On Saturday, the Court volunteered their time with Project Beauty Share again and then received a personal makeup consultation by Executive Director, Julie Farley. On Sunday, they put those new skills to the test as they attended the Miss Spokane and Miss Spokane Outstanding Teen pageant. On Tuesday, the Court was able to practice their interview skills in a round table environment with Directors. This was a great way for those Directors to get to know the Court members more. Wednesday was a jam packed day with the annual Go Red Luncheon and then speech training with Gonzaga University's Communications & Leadership Studies professor, Dr. Michael Hazel.
There is no slowing down for these amazing young women as they gear up for Coronation next week. This weekend, they will work on stage presence training with Prof. Suzanne Ostersmith and speech review with their Chaperones, Liaisons and Co-VP's of Royalty.
Next week is another big week as we prepare for Family Night, on Thursday, Judge Interviews on Saturday and then, of course, Coronation on Sunday afternoon. We hope to see you there at 3pm (March 3rd) at West Valley High School for the 2019 Lilac Festival Queen & Court Coronation. Click below for more information and to purchase tickets.
Keep reading this week's Lilac Weekly as we spotlight and share new fun facts of our "We Are Spokane" Court Members.

Princess Lilian Kay
Liberty High School
Princess Lilian is another one of our athletic super stars. She has been a member of the softball team and was incredibly honored to have gone to state to represent her school.
Her favorite thing about Spokane is the accessibility to everything around her. There is always a new place for her to explore. Lilian also loves the rich history of the Lilac City.
Lilian loves to spend her downtime either crocheting or with her family, friends and two cats, Piper and Rosco. She is a big fan of Indie Pop Music, the movie "10 Things I Hate About You," and her favorite Disney Princesses are Belle and Snow White.
Lilian hopes to continue traveling the world and check off as many countries as she can on her bucket list. She has already been to Mexico, Hawaii and most of the mainland U.S. Fun fact - if Lilian could choose any super power, it would be to have 'shape shifting' abilities so she can adapt to any environment or situation.
Lilian has been such an amazing and endearing addition to the Lilac family and we are so honored to have her as a member of the court. Congratulations Princess Lilian!

Princess Sydney Lyman
Mead High School
Princess Sydney is one of our gifted musicians. She has been playing piano since the 1st grade and will have her senior solo recital in April. "Syd" is a big fan of instrumental movie soundtracks and ambient music.
She also enjoys photography and is on her school's Yearbook staff which has won multiple awards and is a feature book for 2019! Sydney's other hobbies include calligraphy, traveling, snow skiing and wake surfing.
Sydney has a long bucket list that includes traveling to Kenya and Tanzania, studying abroad somewhere in Africa during college and spending a year in Thailand wake surfing.
You can find Sydney hanging out at her favorite stores Piper & Scoot and Atticus Coffee Shop. Her favorite food is anything Italian and she's a big Diet Pepsi fan. Her favorite Disney Princess is Princess Leia (love it!).
Congrats to Princess Sydney in what she has already accomplished in her young life and we look forward to working with her this year and seeing all she will accomplish within Lilac and beyond!
