pageant. In addition, you also receive a program book and a half a page ad. This
ad is an incentive. This is where you can thank all of your sponsors for making
their contribution.
It's easy sometimes to just ask our parents for money, but why should you
when there are dozens of businesses who are willing to help you on the road to
get that crown. You can get enough monies, not only to pay for your sponsorship
fee, but also to provide you with enough to buy your clothes, make-up, shoes,
everything you will need to participate on Pageant Weekend.

You might feel that people are pretty tight with their wallets, so a good
idea is to get outfits on loan. Remember, you might purchase your gown
that you totally love, and you totally only wear once in your whole life. You
might want to go to a boutique and ask them to loan you a gown, bathing suit, or
give you the shoes you will need. This will definitely cut your cost down.
