In reply to: Just wondering. 's message, "If Miss Maine USA covers all costs then why did Ashley Underwood do so much fundraising last year. I was told that she needed to raise over $10,000 to cover her cost and she did raise that money, so I would like to know what that money went towards or if it was used for Ashley to travel across the country for her own pleasure." on 09:45:31 06/09/10 Wed

[> [> [> Subject: That's right! If a queen wants something for nationals outside of their prize package, they have to pay for it themselves. I can't say Ashley's gown LOOKED like a $10,000 gown, so I'm sure that's exaggerated a bit. Most pageants have fundraisers anyway to help with costs. There is ALOT of overhead in running a pageant!
