Happy Summer!

Well, the 2008 State and Regional American Queen Pageants are now behind us. We've crowned wonderful new title holders and we're looking forward to seeing everyone in beautiful Daytona Beach! We had a great time at all of the pageants and we're so fortunate to have these wonderful ladies as new members of our family.

We'll be awarding more state titles within the next couple of weeks for those states that are part of our "at-large" regions. If you know of a candidate whom you feel is worthy of an American Queen title, please let us know!

If you reside, attend school, or work in a state where there is no "live" American Queen Pageant, it may not be too late for YOU to become an American Queen too! Just email us today for all the details at: Info@AmericanQueenPageant.net

Lots of news today, so we'll get right to it! Enjoy your summer and don't forget the Sun Screen!

Best wishes,

Connie

The Historic Georgia International Horse Park was the setting for the Georgia American Queen Pageant. The park was built for use originally as the "Equestrian Site" for the Summer Olympics which took place in the Atlanta area in the mid-nineties. It was a beautiful setting and a beautiful day. The large and enthusiastic audience welcomed the newest Georgia American Queens. As always, Georgia Executive Director Sunjia Burks did an awesome job. The 2008 Georgia American Queen State Title Holders are:

2008 New England American Queens

The smallest state hosted the biggest Regional American Queen Pageant of the year and the newest American Queens were crowned in beautiful "Little Rhody". Our special guests included Valerie Sheppard, Special Host, Kate Stier, Mrs. American Queen, and Jacinta Devlin, Miss American Queen 2007. The Grand Ballroom at the Sheraton was the setting for the exciting and up-beat production.

We were also visited by a film crew from the local NBC Affiliate for the local TV show "Rhode Bytes" starring the hilarious Doreen Collins and Charlie Hall. The episode of the comedy, tongue-in-cheek "Rhode Bytes" will be televised in Southern New England and will also be available on-line at the end of July.
