OUR PAGEANT'S GOAL:

We are a Beauty Pageant. You are judged on FACIAL BEAUTY
& personality and or stage presence. We do not judge clothes
at any level toward the beauty title. We do not judge modeling
at any level toward the beauty title. 50% of every score in
every event is facial beauty. We have had first time
contestants win at the local, state & national level, due to our
emphasis on facial beauty. We also have had pageant kids
win at the state & national levels. All you need to do well with
us is a pretty face & a great personality!

Our system gives pageantry back to the contestants &
eliminates the need for expensive clothing, tanning or any
other overly priced service offered at most pageant events.
Pageantry should not be about the vendors or coaches, it is
about the children. We do not cater to ANYONE except our
contestants.

We are an established pageant system we have held events
for over 15 years & run a FUN, fair & family oriented pageant
that puts the kids first!!! It is important to know that how your
child reacts to his or her placement relies entirely on how
YOU THE PARENT react.

Winning means many things and has many forms. It is not all
about winning the "title" - it's a journey toward improvement
and your own achievements! For example, my trophy that I
proudly display in my living room (the rest are in the garage)
is my "Miss Congeniality" trophy from the 1983 Miss Windsor
Fair Pageant. I didn't win that pageant. But, I was so thrilled
when they announced that the other 30 girls had chosen ME as
the nicest contestant, it took weeks to get me off cloud nine!

It's all in how you teach your children! Plus in our event your
job as cheerleader is even easier because we give
all contestants a crown in our pageant (instead of a trophy)....
even at the national level! I will NOT send any child home
without a crown! :o)

My favorite phrase is, "Beauty fades...dumb is forever." Thus,
our pageant also devotes some time & energy to events such
as Volunteer Service, Talent & Academics. At the National
level, academics, volunteer service & talent ALL carry national
titles.

One of the greatest things about America, is the ability for all
to acquire an education...and it is one of the greatest gifts you
can give to yourself! I think it is important to recognize
Academic excellence in today's youth! I also feel strongly that
God's plan for Mankind includes caring for one another.
Volunteer service becomes a natural way of life, if learned as
a child. Our pageant encourages & rewards volunteer service
by our contestants.

I hope you will join us soon at one of our events! :)
