It was so much fun getting to meet these girls and all of their adorable princesses. They all did an amazin job of maintaining their poise and grace on stage. Spokane has a lot to be proud of. All of them would have represented Spokane well, and even Washington, for that matter (hint, hint. nudge, nudge...all 6 of them should come to MWOT.)
It was also nice visiting some familiar faces that I don't get to see nearly enough, Tori and Emily! Both of these ladies are amazing role models. It is no wonder that the contestants are as amazingly well-rounded as they are with the great role models that they have in both Tori and Emily.
Cheri and Bev of the Miss Spokane's Outstanding Teen Program were exceptionally hospitable to me and my family. They fed us, and made sure we each had a place to stay for the night. I couldn't have asked for a better first local teen appearance! Not too mention, we all just had a lot of fun together.
In the pageant, I was able to perform two talents (a tap and a ballet), have some microphone time, and assist in the award ceremonies. I am so thankful to everyone who came and supported the program, along with everyone working behind the scenes to make the show run as smoothly as it did.
I would like to congratulate Chloe Maier, Trisha D'Agostino, Madison Martin, Katelyn Assmus, Ann Stephenson, and McKenzi Novell on a job well done. I know just how hard it is to stand up in front of a bunch of strangers and allow them to analyze you, and each of you handled that situation with grace and elegance.
Congratulations to McKenzi Novell, Miss Spokane's Outstanding Teen 2008!

The Judges...I do not envy their job.

The fish face is now legendary.

McKenzi and I! I wish you the best of luck during your reign, and can't wait to see you at forum (if not before)!
