In reply to: There were supposed to be over 40 contestants in it. 's message, "Does anyone have an update on the North Star Pageant held today?" on 18:25:37 08/04/07 Sat

My daughter Natalie did this pageant. She was the 1st runner up for the 3-6 year olds. I have no idea who the winner was, as someone mentioned there were no program books. Eva York won the 7-9 year old group. I can't remember any of the other winners. For $20 dollars I feel it was great experience for my daughter. There was a long wait on stage before awards, but I think some of that had to do with several ties that the judges had to break. I was a disapointed that we did not find out who the judges were. Two were older ladies and one was a younger lady. We were not allowed to see scores either which was unusual. It would of been nice to see what areas my daughter needed work on....and for the girls who were tied it would of been nice for them to know they had tied. My daughter Natalie had a hard time while on stage. There were X's marked, but for some reason it was in an upside down T, not the normal T shape. Natalie is only 4 and has practiced the normal pageant T walk. She had no clue what to do and did start to cry while I was getting her ready for causal because she was so confused. On stage she did her own thing. Only the Winner, 1st and 2nd runner up went away with something. We saw many little ones crying. I think there should of been some sort of participation gift, even if a small gift from a $1 store. I hope they will have this again next year, it was worth it. Natalie did have a good time, and did make some new friends! ~Sasha

Winners? No idea. No program book, not even a list of contestants' names.

Quality of pageant? No comment.

Organization? Started 15+ minutes late, which is always hard on the little ones because when they have to hurry to get ready only to wait around, it is hard to have patience.

Judges? Former Miss New Brunswick who was a Miss International winner, Miss International director, and someone else who helps with Miss International. I didn't get their names, and there was no program.

Number of contestants per division? About 40 overall, not sure of the break-down of divisions.

Director? Seemed a little frazzled.

Prizes? Only the top 3 won prizes, and the runner-up trophies were tiny. Not sure what the cash prizes were. It wasn't announced.

Took forever to pick the winners,would like to have seen the scores for the teen pagent. Not sure what the judges were looking for. This pagent is a good one not to bother with again.

Judges had a tough time breaking ties. The young ladies were all so very close in scores.
The pageant went very smooth except for the decisions of winners at end.
All judging criteria is on the website.
A great bunch of girls.
Very polite and well behaved.
Everyone can not be the Queen.
A lot of local girls, who will be back next year.
They had fun, just wanted to do a pageant.
It will be around next year and I'am sure it will be a great turn out again. Thanks to all the beautiful girls.

Author: From the $20 entry, they should be able to spend $2 on a little trophy. [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 04:51:12 08/10/07 Fri
