What a beautiful night on Saturday, at La Center Middle School, to celebrate 23 years and crown our new Miss Teen La Center 2026, Makayla, and her Princesses Emma, Bella, Annabelle and Anneliese. The air conditioning wasn't working very well so it was a little toasty, but the girls rose to the occasion in fine style. To say thank you to all my volunteers would take awhile but I sure couldn't do this without them. First of all, thank you to Taylar Turner, Miss Teen La Center 2014, who took over, at the last minute, to tabulate all the scores. Thank you to Raeanne Edwards, Miss Clark County's Outstanding Teen 2009, for filling in, with about 4 hours notice, when we lost a judge because of sickness. Thank you to my daughter, Brittney, who is my back up for pretty much everything, to Kelly and Anna, who do such a stellar job of handling the choreography and rehearsals, to Adrionna for the great Emcee job, to my backstage ladies, Debbie and Tayvn, to our last minute hair person Kristi, to Ashley, who handles the Silent Auction and People's Choice, to Teri Le and Danielle for more things than I can mention, to Candy for prepping the girls for interview, to Sheri for always making sure we have beautiful photos and to my brother Terry who comes up from Wilsonville every year to make sure our sound is perfect. To our beautiful Jr. Princesses, Janny, Makayla and Story. And of course, our judging panel. Elizabeth, Shelby, Mike, Raeanne and Nelda. "It takes a village" and I am blessed to have a wonderful one!
