Much to my surprise I was also blessed to be given the highest score in interview, swimsuit and the evening gown competitions. I guess the judges missed my knees and how badly they were shaking. lol
The very beautiful and articulate Jackie Wilder was the 1st Alternative in Interview.
Casie Runner and Lisa Wickman tied for 1st Alternative in Swimsuit. They both looked smoking in their swimsuits!
Casie Runner and Segal Magori – Goldstien tied for 1st Alternative in Evening gown. Casie looked amazing in her yellow gown. I loved Segal's gown it looked very regal and she looked like a queen in it.
Judith Berman won both the Community Spirit & Civic Award. Judith was really thoughtful as she brought each contestant a folder full of beautiful, inspirational readings. Thank you!
Melissa Sheehan won the 1st Alt Civic Award. She and her hubby have the most beautiful baby girl. She takes after her mommy!
Angelia Bryce-Thurton won the Hostess Award which I thought was very fitting. She is the epitome of what a good hostess should be! Warm, Kind, Intelligent and Beautiful both inside and out!
Sheila McKinney was awarded the Directors Award. She was very touched and became a bit teary eyed as she hugged Sheila. It was easy to see why Sheila won this award! I just love the pink suit she is wearing.
Everyone that attended the breakfast was treated to a great meal. I loved all the fresh fruit and the pastries. Now that the pageant was over I was able to have one.. Ok well really 5 but nationals is quite awhile away.
I really liked the awards breakfast the next day after the pageant. Usually after the pageant ends you rush around packing up and going home. If you are lucky you see a few of the women you made friends with over the weekend as you left. The breakfast was nice because everyone was able to get together, take pictures, trade info and see each other one last time before we all had to go back to our lives.
Even the judges were invited to attend. Bruce Danley was the head judge and he was just a delight to converse with. His smile and enthusiasm really put me at ease during my personal interview. All the the judges were amazing in their own right.
One of my favorite prizes (aside from the crown, sash and the amazing honor I had been given as that in itself is prize enough) was the pink basket. I LOVE pink!! So this was perfect for me. The funniest part was going through all my prizes after the pageant. My youngest son was getting upset with all the "girly" stuff that he just gave up and started asking for anything he liked. He walked away with my very pink back massager as well as a very large and very pink bar of pomegranate soap.
