Melanie Snare is hoping to fulfill her final NFL dream

ATLANTA (January 2, 2011) – Melanie Snare, was a cheerleader/dancer at UNC-Chapel Hill and then cheered in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons for 5 seasons, was a Captain on the team, traveled to Egypt to entertain the US military, cheered in the American Bowl in Tokyo and was even selected as the 2006 Pro Bowl Cheerleader ending her career on the sidelines in Hawaii. But there was one major NFL dream that never came true – the Super Bowl. Now that final dream could be within reach with the support of the dance & cheerleading world thanks to an online contest for the Super Bowl Bud Light special correspondent.

Bud Light is currently holding a Facebook contest to search for a special correspondent for Super Bowl XLVI and Melanie has entered. Candidates will be evaluated by the number of ‘Likes’ they receive on Facebook and a special judging panel. Melanie is hoping the cheerleading world rallies around her and helps send her to Indianapolis as the special correspondent to make this final dream come true. She works as a TV host based out of Atlanta covering entertainment, red carpets, sports and more so she is perfect for this correspondent position. She even hosted a TV show this NFL season covering the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders audition process and swimsuit calendar shoot in Bermuda called New South.

I’m voting for her because she has a degree in Math and Economics. I am awed by this. Personally, I found the study of calculus to be an profoundly damaging experience. I still carry emotional scars from that semester. In fact, I think I’ll go lie down for a while.

Yes, if they were trick or treating in your neighborhood, you would definitely leave your porch light on, and you’d put away the circus peanuts, and hand out the good stuff!

After receiving 3,817 votes and finishing the online voting in first place, Cottonwood resident Megan Beeson, 17, has made the Sacramento Kings dance team.

“I can’t explain how amazing it feels to have accomplished such a big goal; I get to do something I’m absolutely in love with for my job,” said Megan Beeson, a 2011 West Valley graduate.

“Not many can say that they are in love with what they do, and love going to work every day, but I can.”

According to Beeson, she is most looking forward to the performing aspect of being on the team, but said she also appreciated the opportunity to become a family and make life-long friends with the other dancers as well.

“We’re only a few weeks in and already have such a great bond,” explained Beeson.

Beeson said she will have a spot on the dance team until next season’s auditions roll around sometime in June or July.

“What’s scary about that is veterans do not get a set spot back on the team every year, so we start at the bottom just like everyone else and have to work just as hard,” responded Beeson.

Another big part of Beeson’s job, and one that she is excited about, is traveling.

“I couldn’t be more excited about the traveling for the team. The dancers do not go to any away games, but we do travel for appearances, photo shoots and competitions,” Beeson said. “I love traveling, so it is going to be such an amazing adventure to see where us dancers go this year.”

Beeson said what she wants to take away from this experience is not only the family aspect, but also the people she gets to meet, places she gets to travel and the feeling of accomplishment after achieving a goal.

“I can’t thank everyone enough for all the support I have gotten along the way,” said Beeson. “I truly am so blessed to come from such an amazing town with such amazing people.”
