A lot of paperhearts: check. Sugar flour and frosting: Check. Girls ready to compete for the title of 2012 Sweetheart Royalty: Oh Yeah!

Many people put a lot of work into the days between February 6 and 11, Sweethearts week. The Payson FFA spent a lot of time working on events and decorations; there were many peometitors, all fighting for the honor of ruling the students of Payson High as Sweetheart Royalty.

Savannah Davies, Audrey Miller, Mercedes John, Lauren Menlove, Amberly Child, Katherine Peiper, Brooke Draper, Nicole Barnett, Jessica Evens, Ginger Rieske, Alesha Lee, Meagan Stanton, Mary Allphin, Kaylee Cook, Jennica Trevort, and Terra Throckmorten: 16 girls all fighting to win.

The lovely ladies that were nominated for Sweethearts royalty had to make a poster to advertise the upcoming dance. There were many very good entries and they were all creative. Every girl spent a lot of time making her poster the best it could be. In the end Savannah Davies led the pack with the best poster.

Friday was the annual cake auction. A lot of time was put into baking and decorating the very intricate cakes that were sold. Many of these beautiful cakes were sold for a lot of money that helped toward funding Sweethearts. The cake that made the most money was made by the very same lady that made the winning poster, Savannah Davies.

“My cake sold for $270 thanks to a very supportive family. I thought the whole thing was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed being with all of the different girls. I like milking the cow most because it was really funny. A lot of the girls didn’t know how to do it,” said Davies.

After the long, grueling week, three came out on top, Svannah Davies the queen, her first attendant was filled by Jennica Trevort, and second attendant was Audrey Miller.
