What a Long Day
Sorry about the late post but the time crept up on us.
Started Friday at yet another contestant autograph party then did a little shopping (I'd rather go to the dentist than shop but for Susan I'll suck-it-up).
Okay, okay it wasn't all bad. We thought if we wore the crown and felt how it would be to be a pageant winner we could write better articles and take photos with a different angle. Store management politely asked us to remove the crowns and leave the store. Fortunately no security had to be involved.
Susan O'bryan (editor of the Clinton News) is on a misson to find THE purse! It must be red with side pockets for phones etc. and zips but has an outer pocked that will accommodate her notepad. It can't be too large or too small or to granny looking or to.....well you get the idea. The ideal purse simply does not exist but she is on a quest and will not admit defeat.
We went to two malls (every store in each one) then up and down Washington Street which is one the main attractions to visitors in Vicksburg. We started in Sassafras worked our way down one side had at lunch at Rusty's (you must try it when you visit) then back up the other side. Yes, we stopped in at every shop. It didn't matter that they didn't all sell purses this is what one does in Vicksburg.
Okay, as you have probably noticed in the picture below I WAS WRONG it does exsist! Is it red? No. Ha! So I was a smidge right. Guess which store she found it in? Yes, you guessed it, Sassafras. Didn't we start there three and a half hours before? Arrgh!
Thursday Night
But I digress let's get back to the reason we are in Vicksburg in the first place.Thursday night's preliminary went a little smoother but ran a bit long. Sam Haskell, Chairman of the Miss America Organization, producer, author and agent came onstage to tell us a bit about his new book Promises I Made My Mother. He has had a very interesting life and meet many very famous and influential people. Just to name a couple, he has handled Bill Cosby and Dolly Pardon. He equates his success to the way his mother raised him and the promises he made her. I have purchased my personally autographed copy here at the pageant and I would recommend that you check it out on Amazon.com.
Got back to the room to edit and upload images then crashed about 1:30. Please go to the ClarionLedger.com and check out the articles, blogs and photo galleries of the pageant.
That's all for me today.
