Congratulations to our winner for Miranda Lambert front row and meet and greet winner, Katie Alexander, who was nominated by her friend, Laura Mesker for this prize.  Watch as Leslie and I ambushed her at Salad World with the prize!

Here is what Laura wrote about Katie in her nomination:

I have the highest of hopes for my dear friend Katie in the year 2015. This close friend of mine was a high school classmate, college roommate, and continues to be a special person in my life. Last year, Katie endured one of the most difficult things a girl could, when she lost her father to multiple complications. Katie and I are the same age (she 26, me 27) and it hurts my heart knowing she won't have a dad to help her with car trouble, walk her down the aisle, or be there when she becomes a mother someday.

Despite all this, Katie continues to have a faith of which I can only aspire to have. She has moved back home with her mother, which not only keeps her mom from being lonely, but also brings happiness to each day. Katie is full of life, loves with her entire self, and lives for adventure! Never have any of these things faltered while watching her dad suffer, nor when she had to say good-bye of one of her "best buddies."

Following this time at the end of last year, her phone was stolen and her car came into need of repair. She is currently driving her dad's truck to and from work until she is able to fix it. This girl needs something good to happen to her!

Katie's favorite female country artist is Miranda - and she would be absolutely thrilled with surprise tickets!

To top all of that off, Laura and I found out after the tickets were presented that Katie's father would have celebrated a birthday this very Thursday...the day of the show!  Sounds like someone else had a hand in picking this awesome submission!  Have a great time Katie!  You deserve it!
