Caroline Brummer is a court member for the 2017 Florida Strawberry Festival Queen's Court.
What’s it like serving on the court with your fellow Plant City High School Raiders?
It’s pretty great. I’m the only junior on the court. It’s good because we’re already so comfortable together, which makes it easier to work together.
What are you most looking forward to about the 2017 Florida Strawberry Festival?
I’m most excited for Midway Day, and to ride on all the rides. Mostly though, I’m excited to meet people from Plant City and people of all ages who come to the festival. I’m also looking forward to seeing Patti LaBelle, who I saw on Dancing with the Stars. She has so much spunk and sass and grace. She’s truly the Godmother of Soul.
What was your reaction when you found out you were in the Top 10, and then when you made the court?
This has been my dream for so long, all the way back to when I was on the Little Miss Plant City court in 2009. I was excited when I made the top 10 because it was one step closer to my dream. When I was called for court, I didn’t believe it at first.
What’s your favorite thing about Plant City?
Definitely the support I get from so many different people in the community. This is a great place for kids to grow up. We really have such a loving and supportive community here.
What was your family’s reaction when you made the court?
My dad was relieved. He is not a dress person or anything like that, and he was really happy. My mom was so happy. She worked the closest with me and we went shopping together. She was happy our hard work paid off.
