My name is Stacey Ferguson and I am representing the city of Elk Grove as Mrs. Elk Grove in the Mrs. California United States Pageant. I am supported by my two favorite men; my husband, Craig, and my son, Zachary. Without their love and support I would not have made it this far! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you all the way to God's office and back!!!







My platform, Childhood and Adult Obesity with an emphasis on exercise and nutrition, is a true concern and alarming role that is affecting our country. My goal is to make our youth and fellow adults more aware of nutritious food choices and the value of exercise. I have recently participated in a 1/2 marathon and am a current lifetime and active member of Weight Watcher's. I am actively giving workshops and speaking at various schools in the Elk Grove Unified School District to promote good nutrition and exercise. I am also volunteering at my local school teaching P.E., implementing the SPARK program. It gives me great pleasure to be teaching such a sound and reputable program that promotes physical activity for young students that is fun and effective.

Sheldon 4H Cooking Project



Friday the 19th, I was the guest speaker at my son's 4H meeting. His class in 4H is the Cooking Project and is led by Kim Gillin. Each month they meet and practice different types of cooking techniques and recipes. During my visit I was able to review the USDA Food Pyramid with them, show them examples of balanced meals, and talk about the importance of daily exercise! I also had them play a fun game of Fruits and Vegetables, Who am I? Mrs. Gillin and her daughter, Nicole, were the grand-prize winners and both received Baskin Robbin gift certificates. (You know, from the milk group!). We followed the meeting up with cooking a well-balanced meal of quesadillas with tortillas, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, avocadoes and cheese! Thank you to the 4H Cooking Project for letting me be your guest speaker for the day!

Stay tuned! On Sunday I will be introducing my Weight Watchers family with you and showcasing two amazing women who are truly inspirational to all who read their story!
