The Miss Santaquin Pageant Days Away, Outgoing Queen Reflects on Experience

Shelby Mortensen Expresses Appreciation for Opportunity To Serve as Miss Santaquin 2012

Shelby Mortensen would like to thank Santaquin City for the opportunity to serve her community this year.  Her platform has been Gun Safety Awareness and she teamed up with the Santaquin DARE officers Chris Johnson and Russ Woodland to promote it.  She was able to educate all of the fifth graders in Santaquin about gun safety.  She also teamed up with the police department to apply for grants to be able to give out gun locks to the community.  She loved helping with Santaquin Orchard days in various ways and activities and appreciated the opportunities the Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce gave her in helping with ribbon cuttings, the Easter Egg Hunt, and also at the Nebo Economic Summit.  She participated at Miss Utah this past week and represented herself and the community well.  She is the daughter of Scott and Karen Mortensen.
