Mrs. Missouri at Pumpkins in the Park

This was a wonderful FREE event for children in this Kansas City neighborhood. The chilly temperature didn't stop the kids from painting pumpkins and eating cotton candy. I handed out princess crowns to all of the little princesses to get them ready for Halloween.
Location: St. Luke's United Methodist Church

Heather Speaks on Platform Development at Pageant Workshop-10/3/09

On Ocotber 3rd, I was able to meet some lovely young women and speak with them about becoming a model or entering a pageant. I was accompanied by some industry professionals to help explain all of the different parts of pageantry. I specifically spoke on the importance of platform development. I once heard that volunteering was our debt for having the blessings that we have in our lives. I fully believe that and feel that volunteering and being active in your community is an important characteristic at any age. I had a great time meeting these ladies!
