We started out with a Sweetpea prelim. They are unexpensive to enter ad give the biggest trophys that i am aware off. The mall prelims usually draw more attention than the ones , held in a hotel. The ones out in the country side, also rarely have state or higher level kids. At least in the area where we live. My dd is the only one who has a rhinestone dress. The rest is sunday best and prelim dresses. Good luck for your first pageant.But stay away from the Citrus festival in Winter Haven, the pageant is rigged as heck. Total C.O.I.

IMO lately sweet pea isn't as great as it was roughly a year ago. Her crowns are cheaper(smaller) as are some of her optional trophies. We do still enjoy that pageant just wish she would go back to her old prizes/awards. Cover miss is another good one and her crowns are really nice for a prelim. SLL is another that is just getting started but gives great prizes. (NT) -- No name, 20:55:29 06/02/04 Wed (cache-mtc-ad02.proxy.aol.com/64.12.116.196)

I am talking about the crowns she gives out at the prelims. My DD got a 5 inch crown. The trophys are 3 1/2 foot tall. I havent seen a system that gives out that size at local level. We have tried pretty much everything, Covermiss(cheap plastis crowns),AADT, AD, DiamondUSA and Sunburst. They are all okay. Some are harder to win than others.

- you must not have been to a sweet pea pageant recently. The only big crowns she gives anymore are to the overalls. The queen crowns are cheap plastic with a tiny circle with sweet pea pageants on it. Cover miss crowns are not plastic we have a fairly large rhinestone crown from our last prelim for winning queen. Check out the website and click on "kings and queens on the go" you can see the photos from the pageants there. Last sweet pea prelim we did was little miss central fl and the crowns were garbage. Don't know when she decided to get new crowns but it wasn't a good idea (NT) -- No name, 15:24:03 06/05/04 Sat (cache-rm06.proxy.aol.com/152.163.253.6)
  - Okay, now i know what you mean. We have one of those too.But on local level my dd took home queen only two times. The rest of her wins are GO's. Dont wnna sound arrogant, but it is too easy in Central Fl. We only will do nationals and state. Cant wait to get new pics done. -- Nelly, 10:37:32 06/07/04 Mon (wbar14.tmp-4-12-071-178.dsl-verizon.net/4.12.71.178)
    - What is your daughters name? how old? (NT) -- No name, 12:38:19 06/08/04 Tue (cache-gtc-ab05.proxy.aol.com/149.174.164.69)
  - Got to add on. My daughter went to a Covermiss prelim recently.She had the highest points in the entire pageant.and the crown she got was about 4 1/2 in high, but made with acrylic or plastic stones. The trophy was as big as the queen trophy you would get at Sweetpea and the side award medallions dont even say what they are for.But i am not going to argue about it. I like both systems. My dd really like her "doodle box " karaoke machine she won at Cover Miss. (NT) -- No name, 08:49:05 06/08/04 Tue (wbar14.tmp-4-12-071-178.dsl-verizon.net/4.12.71.178)
