June 16, 2007 - Daytona Beach Shores
The Oceans Atrium Condominium played host to our annual Miss Florida USA sendoff party!!! We had over 50 people attend the event to cheer on their favorite delegate. This was the perfect opportunity for family, friends, and sponsors to see our girls in their state pageant wardrobe!!!!
You'll be able to see the state pageant wardrobe in July, but I will give you a sneak peek at the girls in their press photo day swimsuits!!!!
In attendance: Miss Daytona Beach USA Kendra Waller, Miss DeLand USA Krystal Mulock, Miss Ormond Beach USA Erin McKinnon, Miss Volusia County USA Jessica Rafalowski, Miss Sarasota USA Chelsea Donovan, and Miss Jacksonville Ashley Panaggio.
Our Teens were also in attendance, but most left before photos were taken.
After showing off their wardrobe, it was time for a gourmet meal!! Co-Director, James Antos (who is also a professional chef) created a gourmet meal for our girls that was delicious and incredibly healthy. The 5 course meal was "Arnold approved" by our fitness trainer who also shared in the healthy meal.
