Meet Mrs. Montana

I will be working with the Jadyn Fred foundation. A Missoula based non-profit organization that brings the spirit of hope to

Montana children battling cancer and other major medical issues by providing financial assistance for transportation,prescriptions

or medical procedures not covered by insurance. I look forward to meeting all the amazing children and their families.

To my family and friends, I am so blessed to have you. Thank you for encouraging me to step out of the box and take on this challenge. Chase - I want to thank you for being my biggest supporter, I could have never done all this without you. I love you hun. Of course my two favorite

people in the world, Talen and Peyton, Mommy loves you so much! Mom and Dad - thank you for all of your encouragement

and support, I love you for all you’ve given me. Nana you are a remarkable woman and I love that I have taken after you in so

many ways. Lesley and Melissa - wow you two are wonderful!

Being a part of the Mrs. America family has already been an unforgettable experience and I’m just getting started. To any

married woman who is considering competing in Mrs. Montana, just do it!! You will never regret the decision. Imagine It..Live It!

and who knows you could be the one I crown as my successor!

My name is Kila Reynolds and it is an incredible honor to be crowned your new Mrs. Montana 2011. For those of you who don’t know me I want to take a minute to tell you a little about myself and my background. I grew up in Montana in the town of Ovando. I am very grateful for my small town upbringing, I was able to play high school sports, barrel race, grow up on a ranch, and have the freedom to explore the outdoors as much as I could. “Home by dark” was the rule around my house. As I got older I realized that not everyone grew up with this freedom and the feeling of safety. I was truly blessed!

I married my high school sweetheart and best friend 4yrs ago. Chase has played football for the Grizzlies at the University of Montana for the past five years. During that time, I took on the responsibility of supporting my family by working at a local credit union and owning my own business called Zoo Town Denim. Chase is an astounding football player who has accomplished a great deal throughout his college career, and I am very proud of him. Most people across Montana would say athletics is Chase’s God-given gift, but I know that it is truly being a father and

husband. Our son Talen, 5 years old, was born on Chase’s 18th birthday, the

best gift he’s ever received. Talen is a daddy’s boy and wants to follow in his

footsteps as an athlete. Our daughter Peyton, who is 10 months, is our little

angel and is growing up too fast. Chase and I have an extremely strong

marriage because of our family values, primary that God comes first in our lives.

We also keep our family strong by staying busy enjoying the outdoor activities

that Montana offers such as camping, floating the beautiful Blackfoot river,

snowboarding, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, and of course our family game and

movie nights.

Earning the title of Mrs. Montana has been such a blessing. This upcoming

year is going to be an experience that I will never forget, filled with giving back

to the community through many local charities. During my reign, for my platform
