What's hot in pageantry tonight?
Well the fire was at West Iredell High School tonight in Statesville where Whitney James was the winner of the 2009 Miss Statesville Pageant. This will be Whitney's second trip to Miss NC. Two years ago, Whitney competed as Miss Mecklenburg and was a Top 10 finalist. Whitney faced some tough competition and there were a few girls on the Miss Statesville stage that we are sure to see at future Miss Statesville pageants, if not sooner.
The night was highlighted by appearances of Miss NC Amanda Watson and Miss NC's Outstanding Teen Mya Hipps. The two state queens are busy making travel plans and preparations. Mya is getting ready to head out to Orlando for the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Pageant and Amanda will be heading out for a month to tape the reality show "Miss America Reality Check". Good luck to both our girls!
And it was a tearful night as we had to say goodbye to Kaitlyn "Katie" Cook, Miss Statesville 2008. Katie's rollercoaster of a year was capped off with a Top 5 finish and Miss Congeniality award at Miss NC. Tonight it was announced that the Miss Statesville Pageant Congeniality Award will now be named in her honor. Katie plans to take some time off and focus on school, but she is not ruling out any future pageant plans.... : )
