Subject: MORE REASONABLE PRICING ON THE ENTIRE PAGEANT INDUSTRY PLEASE

This hobby has gotten way out of hand from the h/m, pageant fees, photos, clothing, lessons....

oh and also my daughter and I are new to this and we love to go watch to see what is going on, I can not possible pay $50 to go and "watch"

Why is the ballroom fee sooooo large! Does the fees not cover this cost?

I understand the cost of the ballroom but there are several chains that will give the ballroom for free with certain number of rooms booked especially if it is during a slow season. I think with a little more planning, the directors can find them and make the ticket prices cheaper.

[> [> Actually being a director, no one registers on time and no one books rooms on time to get the discounts on ballrooms. I have tried this until I am blue in the face. We could give a lot more simply having the moms register by the deadlines. There are reasons for deadlines. -- Anonymous, 06:01:16 02/27/07 Tue [1]

well im a director and i plan to have way more inexpensive pageants with delux prizes. I want to take a poll.
banners verses trophies
cash versus delux prizes
jewlery, makeup, pageant clothing, travel gear, amusment park tickets ect,
hotel venues versus non hotel venues
ie schools churches banquet halls ect
(fees would definitly be cheaper)
