Miss Teen World Final Pageant

Today, Allie spent the day in rehearsal with the contestants preparing for her 1st official appearence as Jr Miss Untited States World. The final pageant was amazing and she was so excited to find out who her sister queen would be. Faith, her Kansas sister queen, did an amazing job and placed in the top 10 and was named Miss Personalilty. Way to go Faith! Allie was so excited when Belle Owen, Miss Kentucky, was named Miss Teen United States World and couldn't wait to spend the next couple of days getting to know her.

1st Day as Jr Miss United States World

Allie's first day as Jr Miss Untited States World was spent picking out jewelry and receiving her gifts from sponsors. It seemed everytime we turned around she was getting something from one of the sponsors. She was so thankful to everyone. She also went to watch the Teen contestants practice for their final pageant and of course had her hair and make up done by the amazing Marie Lynn and Katie.

Day 3

Allie Marx is your new Jr Miss United States World. We are all so thrilled and Allie is honored to represent this title. She is so excited and can't wait for her first apprearence on Friday at the Teen World Pageant. Thanks to everyone who made the last 3 days amazing. We will never forget this experience.

Day 2

The second day for the Jr Miss Contestants started out with interviews. After they were finished with interview the girls got ready for the Luau themed lunch. Allie said the lunch was amazing and after lunch the Teen and Jr Miss contestants gave gifts to Cassie & Lauren. The gift was supposed to have something to do you with your state. The girls had a little time to hang out by the pool and relax before they went to rehearsal. All the girls were treated to a nice dinner and then of course back to rehearsal. Teens have their Prelims tomorrow during the Jr Miss's final pageant. Tomorrow will be a busy day!

Jr Miss United States World Pageant- Day 1

We arrived in Houston on Sunday June 20th, the day before pageant activities began. Everyone kept telling us how hot it was going to be in Houston, and boy were they right. That didn't stop us however from making our way to the Galleria - The biggest mall we had ever been in - over 400 stores! It was nice to arrive early so we could get settled in and just hang out. On Monday Allie had Registration & Orientation, this was when Allie met all the other girls competing in the Jr Miss division. She also met Gasper Cruz the director of the Teen United States World pageant. All the girls received some fun gifts and also their dresses that they were going to wear for opening number. After Orientation it was off to bed because the Jr Miss girls had interview early in the morning.

Snow Cones for Polar Bears

Lauren Sage started an organization called "Snow Cones for Polar Bears" in 2008. All proceeds from this organization go to World Wildlife Federation to help save the Polar Bears. The ice in the artic is melting earlier and forming later than it used to, this leaves the polar bears less time on the sea ice to hunt for food. As their habitat disppears, they are in the high risk category for endangerment! If left unsolved their species could be extinct by the end of this century! If you would like to donate to WWF go to www.worldwildlife.org Over the weekend and throughtout the years on several occassions Lauren Sage held her stand selling snowcones! She sold them in 90 degree weather, 60 degree weather and even in the rain! Thanks to everyone who has donated
