Gill and Powell selected 2023 Little Miss and Mr. Wood River

Addy Gill and Jaxon Powell were recently selected as Little Miss and Mr. Wood River 2023 and will ride in the 2023 Wood River FunFest Parade this Saturday, August 5. Addy Gill is the daughter of Dylan and Adrienne Gill and will attend kindergarten at Wood River Elementary this fall. Jaxon is the son of Danny and Chelsea Powell and will be a second grader at Wood River Elementary in the fall. Candidates were asked to write/draw why they love FunFest. On her entry, Addy wrote, “I love FunFest because of the games and donut eating contest. I loved riding my bike in the race and racing my minnow. I liked doing my cheerleading dance in the parade. This year I’m excited for Bingo and face painting. I want to jump in the bounce houses with my friends. Go Eagles!” Jaxon’s entry read, “I love FunFest because I get to see all my friends! The parade and the tractor pull are my fave. I think it would be cool if me and Julia could ride in my Papa’s Bud’s car as Mr. and Ms. Wood River. (–courtesy photos)
