Pageant season is right around the corner, and we just wrapped up the 2010 Miss Maine Spring Gala!

It was a great day that went off without a hitch.

The Miss Maine Spring Gala is a time for the young women competing in the Miss Maine Scholarship Pageant to meet and learn from the volunteers of the Pageant, as well as each other.  There are various coaching sessions on Public Speaking, approaching Interviews, Etiquette, Beauty and Skin care, and Networking and Fundraising.  The day was long (starting at 8 AM and finally drawing to a close with the Gala at 10 PM), but much was learned as girls were put through their paces during Mock Interviews, Talent Critiques and Wardrobe Consultations, in preparation for the 2010 Miss Maine Scholarship Pageant.

There were even a few vendors on hand offering everything a Pageant Girl needs to survive (Gowns, Earrings and Necklaces; the essentials) and each girl was given the chance to have a personal one-on-one with Miss Maine 2009, Susie Stauble, to get in the mind of a current Title Holder. It was basically a pageantry boot-camp, and something I would suggest any woman considering competing in a pageant should experience.

In addition to the Miss and Teen Contestants, the Pine Tree Princes program was there for their own workshops and a private Tea Party with Susie.

After the afternoon Clinic, the evening began with the 2010 Miss Maine Spring Gala, with many auction items on display, and the 2010 Maine’s Got Talent Finals for entertainment.  All of the 2010 Miss contestants in attendance took the stage in the end to showcase their talent numbers for the 2010 pageant, wrapping up an awesome day.

I was very proud to get a chance to CoverThis event, and I eagerly await the 2010 Pageant in June!

But I can not show all 287 photos here, there simply isn’t enough room.  To check out all of the photos, in all their glory, head on over to the gallery by following the link below:
