I am also excited to be in the torchlight parade as it was my favorite event as an ambassador,” Emily Stieve, a nursing student at Minnesota State University, Mankato, said. “My favorite part of being an ambassador was meeting all the new people and helping my community.

The Minneapolis Aquatennial Ambassador Organization (AAO) is excited to announce that Emily Stieve from Norwood Young America will be participating in the AAO Candidate Program from July 22-26.
