Richfield Hometown 4th of July

Mindy watched her 1^st Richfield fireworks when she was one day old, and hasn’t missed one since.  The 4^th of July has always been special to Mindy because every year her whole family travels here from several states to participate in all the Richfield 4^th of July activities, and celebrate her birthday.  Mindy attends Blessed Trinity Catholic School in Richfield where she is in the 2nd grade.  She is a fantastic reader, and is very proud that she only got only one spelling word wrong all year.  Mindy is the daughter of Glen and Judy Bolar, has a younger sister Shelby, and three wonderful foster sisters.  Mindy is an avid dog enthusiiast. She can identify any dog breed by sight, and hopes to open her own rescue shelter when she grows up.

Mindy has loved being a Jr. Ambassador.  Her favorite events this year are a tie between watching the shoot-out at Jesse James Day in Northfield, and cheering on her big sisters in a spaghetti-eating contest.  She also whole-heartedly embraced volunteering at community events such as Kids Against Hunger and Santa To A Senior.  But she is most looking forward to being in the Richfield 4^th of July Parade - the last one of her ambassador year.  Mindy has loved sharing once-in-a-lifetime moments with her four ambassador compadres, and loves that Maria, Katelin, Emily and Josie have become life-long cherished friends.
