🚨TODAY IS THE LAST DAY FOR PAGEANT SIGN UP🚨

Due to the high volume and interest with the pageant this year, we will NOT be able to accept any late sign ups.

At this time ALL Queen, Princess and Peewee Princess spots are FULL!! THAT IS AMAZING, YALL!

We still have spots open for those boys, though! Please, if you’re interested- sign them up BEFORE midnight!

Those that have signed up- I will send out a text to you all tomorrow! Be on the look out and turn on your group messaging! If you’re signed up and don’t receive a text from me by 2pm tomorrow, PLEASE REACH OUT!!

If you have signed up and I didn’t reply, please also reach out! It’s unlike me to not reply so if you received nothing in return, I never got it 🫣
