Go Madaline! 🧡👑

Our third Miss Tripoli candidate is Madaline Harken.

Madaline Harken, is the daughter of Nicholas & Nichole Harken and is a current junior at Tripoli High School. Her diamond sponsor is The Hub and T-Town Brews in Tripoli.

Madaline states, “Becoming Miss Tripoli is more than just a title. To me, it means an opportunity to lead, inspire young children, and give my time to my community. It's also a responsibility, a privilege, and a chance to represent Tripoli. As a junior in high school, I have already taken on many leadership roles, and I'm actively engaged in my community, hoping to make a positive impact on others. Each year of high school, I have recorded over 50 hours of service in my community; some years, I have recorded over 70 hours. This title is important to me because it allows me to further my impact on others, be someone little girls can look up to, and help celebrate everything great about Tripoli. If I'm so honored to pursue this title, I will use it to give back to my community, push for positive change, and encourage others to take pride in who they are and where they come from. I will also represent Tripoli with honor, pride, and a deep commitment to our people and our traditions. If given this opportunity, I will be so excited for the opportunity to represent Tripoli with passion, purpose, and enduring commitment to our community”.

Go Isabella! 🧡👑

Our second candidate is Isabella Harken!!

Isabella Harken, is the daughter of Nicholas & Nichole Harken and is a current junior at Tripoli High School. Her diamond sponsor is B & B Redemption in Tripoli.

Isabella states, “The importance of being Miss Tripoli to me is to show my community that I am committed to them and the town. I want to continue to show the work and effort I have put in throughout my years of being here. For many years I have volunteered myself to help with anything anyone needs whether I get paid or not. For example, I pull a community member’s weeds every summer because she can't do it without it causing pain or I volunteer myself to help my teachers every summer set up, clean, or organize their classrooms. I also help with our school sports camps to help the younger kids improve to keep our Tripoli teams alive and here. I believe that being kind and helping people just to be helpful is a contagious thing that makes others want to be kind and helpful too. To me, Miss Tripoli means that I am still committed and wanting to help my community and keep it on the up climb that it's on. I also want to be an influence for younger girls. I want them to look at me and make them want to help our community to continue to be a great place to live that is full of helping hands and kind people. Miss Tripoli to me would be like a reward or accomplishment for all the things I’ve done to help our town”.
