The Game ended with the invincible Eleven being the victors. The queen went out on the field to meet and congratulate the winners and posed with them with for photos.

I asked the queen what was the highlight of her visit to the field. She replied, "definitely it was the children. It was wonderful see the excitement of the little children as they asked me questions and came around to take pictures. The crown has the power to make little ones stop crying. There was a little girl who would not stop crying . I took my crown off and placed it on her little head and almost immediately a smile came on her on face. That was wonderful to see ."

After the game,the queen prepared for the July 26th Ball held by the Liberian Community Association in Columbia Maryland at the Kahler Hall. Upon arrival, the Queen was escorted to be seated at the head table amongst the head dignitaries and honorees. She was then asked to speak where she thanked the organization for inviting her to celebrate with them.

The Ambassador Mr.Charles A Minor then spoketo the audience. He congratulated the queen on her current win and gave her and official invitation to Liberian Embassy she would join him and the embassy staff for a luncheon. The Queen accompanied the Ambassador for the traditional Grand March, where they danced the night away.

This event was truly one of the most elegant well organized affairs I have attended in quite sometime. I am looking forward to attending their next event.
