This evening, Miss Olivia made an appearance at the CEO Trade Show! As a proud alum of the program, she had the opportunity to speak with the class at the beginning of the year, and it’s been so exciting to see how far they’ve come! From learning how to shake hands and introduce themselves to confidently running their own businesses ✨
Of course, there was plenty of shopping involved.. there’s truly something for everyone! Many students are still taking preorders, and some will even continue their businesses beyond the program. Don’t hesitate to reach out and support this incredible program, our local youth, and small businesses in the community!

Happy Sunday! I’m Olivia Haun, your 2025 Miss Clay County and I can’t wait to share my testimonial 👑
You should run because it’s so much more than a crown 🤍�It’s confidence you didn’t know you had.�It’s finding your voice and learning how to use it.�It’s friendships that turn into forever bonds.�It’s growth, new opportunities, and becoming the best version of yourself in ways you never expected.�It pushes you outside of your comfort zone and shows you just how capable you truly are.
My favorite part of being Queen…�It’s knowing I never gave up on this dream. After years of runner-up titles, continuing to push myself, and always coming back stronger, this title means everything to me. It’s something I’ve dreamed of for so long, and finally getting to live it is so incredibly rewarding. It’s proof that hard work, patience, and passion truly pay off 🤍
It has also been such a blessing to serve a community that has given me so much. Clay County has shaped me into who I am today, and being able to give back, represent, and be a role model for others is something I will never take for granted.
And none of this would be possible without the constant love and support from my family and friends. They have always encouraged me to chase my dreams, believed in me even on the days I doubted myself, and stood by me every step of the way. I am forever grateful 🤍
Finally, the memories.�Getting to spend this year alongside my Queen sisters Halle and Izzabella has been something I’ll cherish forever. From laughs to late nights to once-in-a-lifetime moments, these are the things that make it all so special 👑
If you’ve ever thought about running, don’t let a “busy summer,” college, or a career sway you from signing up. We are all busy, but when something truly matters to you, you’ll make the time. This experience is so worth it, and the memories and growth will stay with you long after the summer ends ✨
This is your sign 💫
