Please remember that pageants are a competition and should be for fun. Unfortunately there can only be one crown per division awarded. The judge’s decisions are final and the directors are not responsible for who is crowned. We ask that the parents please try to set a good example for your children and please use good sportsmanship at all times. Anyone found acting in an inappropriate manner will not be allowed to compete in the next pageant. Thank you for your cooperation.
