The contestants answered questions such as what their favorite food is and what they want to be when they grow up. Favorite food answers included everything from pizza to sushi. Some of the responses to what they would like to be when they grow up included movie star, mom and firefighter.  When it was his turn, Alexander Leeper’s answer to that question was, “A police officer to make a better world,” which was a big hit with the crowd.

In the 3-4 category, Olivia Pahl was crowned Princess Winona and Blake Hochstetler was crowned Prince Winona.
