The 21st Annual LaPetite, Pre-teen, and Teen International Pageant was held on Saturday in Calais. Girls from age 4-16 from both Maine and New Brunswick competed. From beginning to end, it was a wonderful experience for the girls, and the show was great! This year, all funds raised from the pageant were donated to Hospice.

Pageant Director Barbara Lara, who has been teaching dance for more than 40 years, choreographed two opening production numbers: one for the LaPetite contestants, who were adorable, and the second for the Pre-teens and Teens, who were looking cool! All of the girls did a great job, and those of us in the audience could tell they were having fun!

Contestants were judged on interview earlier in the day. The evening competition included casual wear modeling, formal wear, and for the pre-teens and teens, an on-stage question.

For the first time at this pageant, contestants had the option of competing in talent.

While waiting for the scores to be tallied, Barbara Lara and husband Jose wowed the audience with their dance skills. Barbara's granddaughter Micalah performed a cute hip-hop routine. (It should be noted that while Micalah has competed in pageants in the past, her grandmother does not feel it is appropriate for her to compete at a pageant directed by a relative.) Micalah served as an official representative for Hospice and wore a tiara which had been won by her mother, who passed away last year.

We were also entertained by the amazing singing of last year's Miss Teen International Breanna Beal and the fast tapping feet of Ms Eastern Maine Talent Queen, Eryn Crowe. Both these young ladies should compete at Miss Maine America next summer.

If I'm forgetting anyone, I apologize. It was a great night of pageantry and entertainment. ALL of the girls who competed should be congratulate for doing a fabulous job!

Because talent was optional, it was scored by a different panel of judges than the pageant itself.

The winners were:

1st RU Haley Smith

info about NEStar rules (silly!)
[ Edit | View ]

From the NEStar website rules:

7. A contestant may not be a local International title holder (such as Little Miss International) , she must have passed her title up before the pageant date or within three weeks after the NorthEast Star Pageant.

So, the director for NEStar doesn't want her to have two titles. However, they have 2 rules to say the directors can do what they like:

12. These rules and regulations are subject to modification, as needed, without prior notice.

13. Pageant reserves the right to make modifications at its sole discretion.
