The Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee held its annual Coronation Ball on Saturday, February 16 in Denver and Kelly Kathleen Kretschmar was crowned Queen Colleen 2008 for the 46th annual Parade. American Legion Post #1 sponsored her.

Ms. Kretschmar, 22, is a Denver native and a full time student, who is currently on the Dean's List and National Scholars' Honor Society at Metropolitan State College of Denver. She is working towards a degree in psychology with a minor in communications. She is employed full time for an investment banking firm in downtown Denver where she provides IT and office administration support. She volunteers with various organizations striving to make a difference both locally and worldwide. For example, Kelly serves food to the homeless at the Denver Rescue Mission. She also is involved with Women for Women International, an organization that provides women survivors of war, civil strife and other conflicts with encouragement, hope and support to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency.

Growing up, she was surrounded by the members of the Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee of which she is now a member. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, crafts, and the amazing Colorado outdoors.

Kelly will reign as Queen Colleen for one year and will represent the Parade Committee at many community events. Ms. Kretschmar and her court of 15 ladies will ride in the Bellco Credit Union Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday, March 15 in lower downtown Denver.
