Little & Junior Miss Lumbee 2009 Pageant Practice Begins

Today was Drew's first day of practice for the pageant that will take place on Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Participating in Little and Junior Miss Lumbee takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Drew, Kayla and the sixteen contestants will practice at least twice a week from now until pageant night. There are eight girls competing for the title of Little Miss Lumbee 2009 and eight girls competing for the title Junior Miss Lumbee 2009. You can visit the LRDA website for names and pictures of this year's contestants. http://lumbeehomecoming.com/ljcontestants.html

Drew was excited to start practice and meet all the girls today. I know that pageants often get a bad rap; however, Drew has made many friends through pageants. I suspect that during the time that she spends at practice over the next few weeks she will make a few more lifelong friends.
