This last weekend I had a wonderful time volunteering my services for a fundraiser pageant. The proceeds of the pageants are for the Ronald McDonald House. The Director of the pageant, Susan Burks, recently had a little boy with a heart condition and they relied on the Ronald McDonald House for several months. Susan wanted to do something to thank The House for their support and I was more than happy to help! The pageants went great and it was a huge success! I was in charge of the contestants backstage and lining the girls up before they went on stage. It was a lot more stressful than I thought it would be, but I loved every minute of it! It was nice to be backstage for a change! It was also nice to see Miss Metropolitan, Lacey Alford, who was one of the judges. I know the judges had a tough time deciding and they did a wonderful job.

 

My niece, Lauren, was a contestant in the pageant. I enjoyed putting makeup on her and helping get her ready for the big night. She did great considering it was only her second pageant. I was worried she would be upset if she didn’t win anything, but she didn’t mind at all! She had a great time backstage and loved hanging out with the other girls. Each contestant received a tiara and had their picture made with a princess. She felt very special and loved all the special attention! Thank you Susan for having such a wonderful pageant and raising money for such a great cause!
