Last week, the girls attended an open call for the National American Miss Pageant our state. We got a call this evening that both girls have been selected to participate in the state pageant in early July. They won't be competing against each other, as there are 5 age divisions.
We'll have more info soon. Check out the NAM website to get an idea of how it is run.

Starting again
We're going to start updating this blog again. We had some technical difficulties, which helped prevent us from accessing this site. Everything's better now.

Tragedy at the State Fair (We are all fine!)
While we were at the Fair yesterday for the girls to perform, we had left by about 3 PM. The collapse of the Grandstand stage occurred at about 9 PM. It was caused by a 70 mph localized wind gust.
Unfortunately, 5 people died and 45 were injured. Please keep those people and their families in your prayers. The Fair is close today and will reopen tomorrow with most activities occurring.
We won't be returning to the Fair until Sunday, August 21.

State Fair Talent Contest, part 2
The contest was to begin at noon, today. Since the girls were in the last group, they didn't perform until after 5 PM!
They didn't place among the 12 vocal groups, but they did their best and had fun. We couldn't ask more of them.
Two of the judges had some really positive comments and suggested that they both continue with their singing. One judge even stated that she could see real potential in the girls. Both Jules and Kitty have decided they want to compete again next year. So, after a bit of a break, we will begin looking at duets for them to consider.
Brava, girls, brava!

State Fair Talent Contest, part 1
The girls are entered in the State Fair Talent Contest in the Senior Vocal Group division. They are performing "What Is This Feeling?" from the musical WICKED. At 11AM, we will find out their performance time today. Unfortunately, we will not have access to the Internet at that time, so we cannot post an update about the schedule until after the contest is over.
The girls are able to participate in the talent contest, due to them winning in their division in the county contest.
While we are not expecting the girls to win, we do want them to do their best and to have fun. Regardless of the outcome, we are very proud of both girls for attempting this.
Please, wish them luck.

A Spectacular 4th
We spent a lovely holiday weekend at Grandma's and Papa's. We had our own mini-fireworks show, including sparklers last night. We also watched some movies and generally relaxed.
Since Grandma and Papa live a few hours away, we were traveling home tonight. For about the last 50 miles of the trip, we were treated to a "moving" fireworks display. Local radio stations were playing music that went along with a suggested list of fireworks, so many neighborhoods had personal displays. It was really cool to have fireworks accompany us home.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!
May God continue to bless us
