The Mrs. America Pageant was relocated to a new date and new location this year, held at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia for the taping of the show t be aired on Mother's Day. A few of our sister queens from our year were there to reconnect, and Loni (IA) and I went to provide hair and makeup services as well as tanning and tattoo coverage.
The Greenbrier is a lovely place that very much embodies the romanticism that goes along with pageantry, and the service there was impeccable. Everyone was treated like royalty, whether old or new! We met some very beautiful ladies that had hearts and spirits to match, enjoyed amazing food and shopping, and were excited to see the production - prelims and finals were both so well done!
Mrs. Florida was the lucky lady to earn the newest Mrs. America title, and she was another one that was beautiful both inside and out, but it was also an awful lot of fun to cheer on "our girls" we'd gotten to know that last week as well. Getting to see and visit with Florence Henderson again was also a treat. She gave Loni and I hugs and kisses the day we left! Whether she remembers you or not having been host for many years, she still makes you feel very important to her. :)
I'll have a couple posts for photos!
Driving up, our room, and our first Greenbrier meal!
