This weekend, I had the opportunity to judge a Valetine Pageant in Franklin County. It was incredibly interesting to be on the other side of the table so to speak. Their were 70 contestants ranging from ages 0-18. The little ones were absolutely PRECIOUS! As an elementary school teacher, this was right up my alley. It was such a hard decision to choose a winner in each category. Most difficult was seeing the disappointed little faces of the children who didn't win.
Judging was such a fun appearance! I'm looking forward to my next opportunity to judge.

First Appearance
This weekend I had the opportunity to make my very first appearance as a MAO titleholder at the Miss Fulton County Pageant. It was so nice to actually get to sit back and enjoy a pageant! Congratualtions to Amber Ferrell who did a great job! I'm confident she will represent Miss Fulton well.
In addition to watching the pageant, I also enjoyed getting to know Miss Southern Heartland and Miss Forsyth during the pageant. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing them again at forum.
Finally, probably the most exciting part of the night was meeting Miss Georgia 2004, Danica Tisdale! I remember being in the audience the year she was crowned Miss Georgia and loved her. It was wonderful to meet and chat with her.
