She’s been involved in the fall musicals in high school, along with dance, one-act plays, National Honor Society and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She says, after high school, she plans to attend one of the colleges in the Moorhead area and hopes to become a high school music and theater teacher.

Vines says she’s working at Papa’s Sweet Tooth in downtown Litchfield this summer and attending a Christian camp near Duluth. She is encouraging people to participate in the medallion hunt which will begin on July 8th with clues being read on KLFD at 10 o’clock each morning.

Maya Wuotila is the daughter of Duane & Wendy Wuotila and is sponsored by Wuotila Lawn Care. She’s been involved in tennis and National Honor Society, serving as a manager for boy’s tennis and basketball, and doing PSEO through Crown College.

Wuotila says she is working for her dad this summer – mowing lawns – teaching tennis for Community Education, and will also be on a mission trip to Ireland. She says she’s enjoyed Art in the Park during past Watercade celebrations – along with the Lip Sync in which she was a 3-time champion with her sister and cousins, and enjoyed attending the coronations with her mom since she was a child. She’s encouraging people to attend the talent contest on July 13th at noon in Central Park. The new Miss Litchfield will be crowned during the coronation on July 14th at 4 p.m. in the Bernie Aaker Auditorium at the conclusion of the 68th annual Watercade celebration.
