Melissa Brenny of Sauk Rapids was crowned Mrs. Minnesota at the Mrs. Minnesota America pageant in Bloomington on June 25.
Brenny and her husband, Michael, are the parents of four young children – three girls and one boy. She owns Refresh Nutrition in downtown Sauk Rapids.
An awareness of the crime of sex-trafficking and a determination to help stop it is the theme Brenny chose for the pageant. She is hoping, as Mrs. Minnesota, she can raise more awareness about the horrors of sex-trafficking and enlist help from people far and wide.
During the pageant, Brenny competed in competitions in the categories of swimsuit, evening gown and an interview during which she discusses her determination to help stop sex-trafficking.
As Mrs. Minnesota America, Brenny will represent the state at many official events throughout the year. She will compete for Mrs. Minnesota America at a pageant in Las Vegas in August.
