Miss Warner Robins 2016

Last Saturday evening I got my pageant fix!  A new Miss Warner Robins and Miss International City were crowned along with Miss Outstanding Teens for both cities.  The pageant started at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 11:30 p.m.  My husband kept asking, "How long does this last?"  I reminded him that I love watching pageants as much as football!

Tess Hammock, a 21-year old student at the University of Georgia, won the title of Miss Warner Robins 2016.

Caroline Burnette, a 19-year old student at Georgia Southern University, won the title of Miss International City.

Grace Thomas, a 16-year old student at Houston County High won the title of Miss Warner Robins' Outstanding Teen.

Mandolyn Howard won the title of Miss International City's Outstanding Teen.

All four young ladies will go on to compete at the Miss Georgia pageant next June.

Hopefully these ladies follow in the footsteps of recent local winners.

Betty Cantrell, Miss Warner Robins 2015, won the title of Miss Georgia and will compete at the Miss America pageant on September 13.

Two years ago, Olivia McMillan won Miss Warner Robins Outstanding Teen and went onto win the Georgia title and then became Miss America's Outstanding Teen!

I cannot wait for the Miss America Pageant on September 13th.  I'll be back next week with my favorite contestants!

Miss America's Outstanding Teen

Olivia McMillan, Miss Georgia Outstanding Teen 2014

Olivia McMillan is a 17 year-old student at Northside High School in Warner Robins, Georgia.  She is a classically trained vocalist and delivered a beautiful rendition of "Nessun Dorma" and won Miss Georgia Outstanding Teen 2014 back in June.  Now she's competing for the title of Miss America's Outstanding Teen!

Along with the volunteering for the Miss America partnership program of the Children's Network, Olivia's platform is the Sibling Support Project, for siblings of medically fragile and special needs children.  Her brother Max has autism and bipolar disorder.

This young lady is beautiful and talented and she's my pick to take the crown!

*EDITED*
Congratulations to Olivia.  She is the new Miss America's Outstanding Teen!!!

Miss Georgia Pageant 2014

Carly Mathis, Miss Georgia 2013, will relinquish her crown this Saturday evening in Columbus, Georgia at the Miss Georgia Pageant.  Carly was one of my favorites at the Miss America 2014, where she placed in the top ten.  

I've been watching the preliminaries via the live stream from WRBL.  The girls vying for the crown will be judged on fitness, talent, and on-stage questions.  The winner will represent the state at the Miss America Pageant on September 14, 2014 in Atlantic City.  Here are the contestants for Miss Georgia 2014.    See more about the pageant and the contestants on the Miss Georgia Facebook Page.

My favorites are:

Miss Atlanta

Miss Conyers

Miss Georgia Southern

Miss Gwinnett County

Miss Macon

Miss Warner Robins

There are also girls competing for the title of Miss Outstanding Teen Georgia and I just love Olivia McMillan, Miss Warner Robins Outstanding Teen.  She won the preliminary talent contest with her vocal performance. Good luck to her on Saturday night.  The winner of the Miss Outstanding Teen will go on to compete in Orlando on August 2nd for the title of Miss America's Outstanding Teen.
