Delegates began their weekend on Thursday evening with dance rehearsals at the Capital Complex. Friday, Advocates to end Domestic Violence hosted breakfast and presented an informational workshop, followed by a photo shoot at the Battle Born Memorial to the Fallen, at the Carson City Capital Grounds. The Queens had their annual promenade downtown, visiting local businesses and meeting and greeting locals. Our welcome dinner was held at San Marcos Grill, where we also awarded our Cover Model Award to Stacie Feazel.
Saturday began bright and early with rehearsals at the Bob Boldrick Theater at the Carson City Community Center. All 9 ladies participated in panel interviews with our judges, modeled on stage with a 80's themed fun fashion, talent competition that included, singing, dancing, art and musical theater and of course the glamorous evening gown, followed by an on-stage question. The ladies worked hard and brought their best to the stage!
