Congratulations to Olivia Karpinski on a wonderful, busy year as Miss Strafford County!

Olivia led the 2008 Seacoast Heart Walk at Wallis Sands State Park and helped raise over $88,000 to fight stroke and heart disease in New Hampshire.

Olivia also represented Strafford County beautifully at the 2008 Miss New Hampshire Scholarship Program where she was honored with the Meg Geraghty Community Service award, which brought with it a $1,500 scholarship. Olivia also won the non-finalist interview award worth $500 and the George Naum Congeniality Award worth $1,000.

Thank you Olivia for a wonderful year of service!
