Kampbel James of Kahoka was crowned Miss Northwest Counties’ Outstanding Teen January 28th in Maryville, MO. She will go on to compete for the state title in June in Mexico, MO.
She completed an interview, fitness performance, performed her talent as a monologue from Dead Poets Society, “What will your verse be?”, and the evening gown with question. She is looking forward to promoting her platform Fostering a Brighter Future where she advocates for those in and going into the foster care system and helping the families opening up their homes to these youth.
This is something she has been involved with for the last few years. She will also continue to be involved in many other community services.

Sister Duo Publishes Children’s Books
Encouraging her daughter along with other children to enjoy reading is what inspired Jennifer Bourgeois and her sister Ash Manning to start creating children’s books
“Ash and I have always had a love of reading,” commented Jennifer. “We started creating children's books after my daughter, Lyla, was born to inspire her interest in books and we hope to reach other young readers as well.”
The sister duo has currently published two books. “Baby Duck and the Windy Day” was published in 2021 and “Night at the Fablehollow Library” was published in 2022.
“Ash and I write the books together and Ash illustrates all the books herself,” commented Jennifer. “We are currently working on several titles, including a Young Adult fiction series, and we have hopes to have two holiday-themed Baby Duck books out this year.”
If interested in purchasing a copy of one or both of the books you can find them in Kahoka at Flowers For You and Backroads Boutique and Consignment or online at rosehavenbooks.com, along with some Rose Haven Books merchandise.
