Nicole Radske Miskiewicz, the Parade’s Vice Chairlady, was Miss German-America in 2006. Nicole is an Interior Designer and Senior Project Director of Design & Construction at St. John’s University. Being Miss German-America triggered a reaction to get her entire family involved with the Parade. As Queen, Nicole’s father, Bob Radske, felt it was very important that Nicole take her role seriously and accompanied her to the monthly Parade meetings. Both Bob and Nicole joined various committees over the years. First Nicole became the Gottscheer Division Marshall and eventually took a position assisting with the Miss German-America Court. She also assumed responsibility for Cornflower donations and in 2014 became Vice Chairlady of the Parade. A position she has held ever since. Nicole’s father is our current Parade Chairman and her mother is the Finance Secretary. Nicole’s eldest daughter was Junior Princess as well. The Parade is a huge part of Nicole’s life and she truly loves being a part of it.

Nicole’s highlight as Miss German-America was walking down the aisle of St Patrick’s Cathedral in the white gown, gloves and crown. She truly felt like royalty and felt it was a once in a life time opportunity. While in Köln as Goodwill Ambassador, a TV Channel followed Nicole around for a reality TV show type episode. As a 19 year old this was a very cool experience for Nicole. 

Nicole’s advice for future courts is “Have fun and make friends at the different events. Be engaging, show your enthusiasm by speaking to people about the Parade.” 

Nicole’s husband and both her daughter’s are active Parade supporters. Her daughter loved being a Junior Princess. Both girls enjoy helping their mom with Parade things such as stuffing envelopes, designing graphics, posing for social media content and giving her ideas for new things.
