This years pageant was held on June 21st. We had a great group of girls come and compete. They all did an amazing job!! One of my favorite things about running this contest is when I have a group of girls that have good sportsmanship and are there cheering each other on. I am so thankful for the parents that teach them good sportsmanship and for all of your hard work getting these girls ready and to where they need to be.
We as the American Legion Queen Committee are looking forward to another fun year of working with such a great group of girls.
We want to thank all of those that sponsored our contest! Without our sponsors this contest wouldn't be possible. We had some really fun things donated to us this year. It was really rough not having Konra Minnear at Equine Supply here to make us her, as always, beautiful breast collars. She was an amazing person and is missed by so many. Not only for the awesome talent she had for creating such beautiful tack but also for the way that she made every person who walked through the doors of her store feel like she'd known them for years as a good friend. Thank you Equine Supply for continuing to donate to us!!!
Our many more Sponsors this year were-
AMT Welding
Desert Rose Floral
S&S Plumbing
Laub's Feeding and Cubing
Heidi's Stamped stories Jewelry
Silvery Sage Leather Design
