June Chamber Luncheon: Meet the 2026 Royal Ambassador Candidates Join us for a special June Chamber Luncheon as we welcome the 2026 Monticello Royal Ambassador Candidates and recognize the businesses and organizations helping make this incredible program possible! This annual tradition provides Chamber members and community leaders an opportunity to meet the candidates, learn more about the Royal Ambassador Program, and celebrate these outstanding young women as they embark on a journey of leadership, community service, personal growth, and ambassador experiences throughout the coming year. We are grateful for our candidate sponsors whose support helps create meaningful opportunities and lifelong memories: ✨ Natalie — Sponsored by Loch Jewelers ✨ Freya — Sponsored by Kohler Law Office PLLC ✨ Evyn — Sponsored by Sherburne State Bank ✨ Layla — Sponsored by DATASuccess, Inc. ✨ Addyson — Sponsored by Healing Moments Counseling LLC ✨ Arya — Sponsored by The Crummy Boys Shop, Inc. ✨ Sadie — Sponsored by Schlenner Wenner & Co. CPAs Lunch will be catered by Style Catering. The seven Royal Ambassador Candidates have already participated in leadership development activities, skill-building classes, volunteer opportunities, and experiences designed to strengthen their confidence, communication abilities, community involvement, and friendships. Join us as they share a glimpse into their journey leading up to Riverfest and Coronation. Treasure Chest Drawing — Must Be Present to Win! Royal Ambassador Industry Tours Immediately following the luncheon, the Royal Ambassador Candidates and Royalty will participate in educational business and industry tours designed to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the businesses that help make Monticello a vibrant and thriving community. SERVPRO of Wright County The first stop will be SERVPRO of Wright County, where candidates will learn about the critical restoration and emergency response services provided to our community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From fire and water damage restoration to storm recovery, mold remediation, cleaning services, and disaster response, SERVPRO plays a vital role in helping families and businesses recover when the unexpected happens. Candidates will gain insight into the specialized equipment, training, and dedication required to serve the community around the clock. We extend our sincere appreciation to the SERVPRO team for sharing their expertise and helping educate the future leaders of our community. Ausco Design & Marketing & Rally Gear The second stop will feature two businesses that work together to transform ideas into finished products: Ausco Design & Marketing and Rally Gear. Many students and community members have worn apparel produced by these businesses without ever seeing the creativity, technology, and craftsmanship behind the scenes. Candidates will learn how artwork and branding concepts are developed, then brought to life through apparel decoration, promotional products, drinkware, and custom marketing materials. This tour will showcase the many career opportunities available in graphic design, marketing, production, printing, and entrepreneurship while highlighting the innovation and talent found right here in Monticello. A special thank you to Ausco Design & Marketing and Rally Gear for opening their doors and inspiring the next generation of community leaders. We hope you will join us in celebrating these remarkable candidates, their sponsors, and the businesses that invest in the future of our community.
