Subject: Sunburst

Mississippi State Sunburst -- Anonymous, 12:57:24 05/14/02 Tue [3]
My child won one of the Grand Supreme's this past weekend. I was told by the Director today she would only get a $200.00 savings bond and it takes seven years to get the $200.00 full face value. We paid almost $400.00 in entry fees and there was 74 contestants. Not all did everything, but I would say 85% of them entered everything.There was also a $10.00 program book fee and a $10.00 door addmission charge. I don't feel my child or any of the winners are receiving what they should. Sunburst State always gave a $1000.00 bond for Grand Supreme, and a $500.00 bond for Beauty. THIS IS VERY WRONG............ What do you think?

I agree this is wrong....BUT, I just don't understand Why you would even spend this kind of money to do a pageant that does not guarantee the money and how much. This also happened in Tupelo not so long ago. It looks like you would really think about what your doing. I would never do a pageant that just said A BOND unless I did not care if I received any Cash or not. Most of the pageant kids do not go just for the title. They do like to get some Cash to help with expenses. (NT) -- Anonymous, 13:31:57 05/14/02 Tue
cont.... Well you can either contact the National Director and hope she will be understanding of your feelings and let her know . But she will just tell you what was in the paper work a Savings Bond and she can give you what ever she feels like. Sunburst will never make it in MS unless they try for the new kids. Because the pageant kids will not stand for this! (NT) -- Anonymous, 13:55:31 05/14/02

[> Re: Sunburst....Sunburst State is crooked!!! Be GLAD that you are even getting a Savings Bond! My daughter won Sunburst State a few years ago and still to this day has not collected her winnings....My opinion, its wrong for any director not to pay their winners however some seem to keep getting away with it. -- A Mother of a Former Sunburt State Winner, 22:26:05 05/23/02 Thu
