Beauty, inside and out, and on full display in BIO Girls finale

WADENA — A group of about 30 young girls raced through the streets of Wadena on Wednesday, July 20, with the confidence that they could finish what they started.

It’s safe to say that this group of young ladies is not the same group that first gathered 12 weeks ago at the start of the first BIO Girls group in Wadena. BIO stands for beauty, inside and out. The group formed in an effort to break down the figure that six in 10 girls battle with low self-esteem, according to the BIO Girls website. The girls have undergone a physical, emotional, mental change that organizers hope will stick with them for a lifetime.
