The Pageant Committee would like to thank all the young ladies for their participation and we would especially like to thank the parents for supporting their young ladies. These 45 girls were wonderful to work with ... they are beautiful young ladies and truly all are winners. They gain poise and confidence each time they participate in pageants and the winners usually are the girls who have participated in several different pageants. It takes getting one or two under your belt to get the jitters down enough to really do what is necessary on stage to win.

The Committee would also like to thank all the folks who helped in any way with this First Annual Christmas Pageant. It takes lots of folks working together. Thanks to Chuckie, Zach and Chuck for volunteering their time to do lights and sounds.
