My 8 month old daughter just won second runner up in our Sunburst prelim pageant at our local mall with our $200 entry fee to state paid for. I assumed that was the only expense. I was wrong. When I got home and read the booklet, I found out that you have to sell ads for the program book, which are $150 a page, and if someone sells 8 ad pages, they automatically win a crown, trophy, and all optional events paid. Not only that, but you also have to pay a $80 fee for the parade of beauties, which is just a picture of all the contestants in the program book. I was very upset to find out all the extra expense that is required in order to simply attend the pageant. not to mention the dress, hotel, transportation, and so on. I guess I am new to the whole pageant arena, but It seems I was led into a money making scam if you ask me. I might just buy my daughter a crown, and save a ton of money!

i agree they do herd them in like cattle. I did sunburst twice. the first year she one a side award at state and the second year nothing. We competed in a large number of optional events. Honestly she did not do well because she did not have a coach. all the girls that won the highest award that year were coached! and that was the first lost we had.
