Miss United America & Miss Petite United America
This weekend Austin, Texas will host the United America Pageant and Petite United America Pageant on Sunday October 23, 2011. Pageantry stars in media entertainment present at these double pageants include: Tim Kretschmann from PageantCast, Sherrie Gearheart from Tiara Magazine, and Kristina Rowe from www.splashandsparkle.com Together both the United America Pageant and Petite United American Pageant will have approximately 50 contestants vying for various titles. The Petite United America is a unique pageant system calling all contestants that are 5’6 and under. Petite is beautiful so why not give this pageant a try? You can learn more about both pageant systems by going to www.unitedamericapageant.com One of the most admirable things about the United America Pageant system is how dedicated the National Director is to her state and national queens. She updates everyone in her database of what every single queen in her system is doing. Below we included just a snippet of her National and State Newsletter so you may better understand what her system has to offer. After this weekend we will post the National Winners.
QUEENS NEWSLETTER – August, 2011
Hi to all,
First off, I want to Congratulate all of our new TEXAS UNITED AMERICA queens who competed in June. They are: JR. TEEN UA – Mary McFadden, TEEN UA – Lilliana Mancillas, MISS UA – Vivian Ta, MS. UA – Ethel Curtis, MRS. UA – Tarah Schuster, MS. LADY UA – Brandi McGruder-Coffer, MS. WOMAN UA – Candice Freeman, MS. CLASSIC UA – Kristina Rowe and MS. ELITE UA – Jain Hall. All of these ladies will now advance on to our UNITED AMERICA NATIONALS pageant Oct. 21-23, 2011 in Austin, Tx. at the Wyndham Hotel. We invite all of our pageant friends to come enjoy our pageant in the State Capitol and the “Live Music Capital of the World” – Austin! Our UNITED AMERICA NATIONAL queens were ALL in attendance at our state pageant in June and it was such a treat for us to have them here and to be a part of our program! They were a lot of support to everyone and of course, it’s always fun to recognize these wonderful women!
The queens have been very busy and I’d like to mention a few things they have done to share with you about what is important with our program – that is VOLUNTEERING! This is very special and what a wonderful feeling it is to be able to do this when we can. Billye Fietz- our MS. CLASSIC UA & MS. PETITE CLASSIC UA has been busy attending, hosting, being judge, MC, event planner for many various organizations and has managed to make several more quilts and get to spend time with her new Grand-daughter! Recently, several of the UNITED AMERICA queens were Visiting Royalty at a pageant in San Antonio and those represented were: Shawniqua Stokes – MRS. SAN ANTONIO UA, Lilliana Mancillas – MISS TEEN TEXAS UA, Alyson Bentley – MISS JR. TEEN SAN ANTONIO UA, Billye Fietz –MS. CLASSIC UA, Gabriella Cho – MISS TEEN SAN ANTONIO UA. It was fun seeing several former UA queens there as well in the competition. Recently Lilliana was invited to speak to several schools in the Corpus Christi, Tx. area to at-risk children. She was very well received and the local newspaper did a nice story with pictures of her while she was there. She also has helped out at CAMP-CAMP and this has been a rewarding experience for her!

On July 4th, 2011, we had many of our UA queens out and about across the state of Texas! In the Houston area, those queens who were at a special event sponsored by the Woodlands Convention Center and were recognized on their huge stage were: Shaune Stauffer – MS. UNITED AMERICA, Dominique LaRue – MS. HARRIS COUNTY WOMAN UA, Amber Glass – MISS TEEN HARRIS COUNTY, Tarah Schuster – MRS. TEXAS UA, Susan Brassard – MRS. MONTGOMERY CO. UA, Tammera Dana-MS. HOUSTON UA and Shanna Olsen – MS. PETITE UNITED AMERICA. It was a very exciting time for all the ladies.

Our PETITE UNITED AMERICA AMBASSADOR – Lyndie Burris has recently moved from Tennessee to Florida where she continues to be involved with her singing. In fact, she has now formed an organization which helps local musicians and business who need entertainers for special events. She has been able to connect up musicians with business ventures and this is a good thing! Keep it up! Everyone can benefit from this! Several of our queens have made trips to the hospital over the summer but all are better now. They include Michelle Wegner – MRS. UNITED AMERICA, Kelly Brantley – MRS. HARRIS COUNTY UA, Tarah Schuster – MRS. TEXAS UA and Billye Fietz-MS. CLASSIC – PETITE CLASSIC UA.

Jain Hall – our MS. ELITE TEXAS UA, recently visited a retirement center and will be working with them in setting up fashion shows and entertainment for those who live there. She and Kristina also helped with the Queen for a Day event and Jain will be involved with a charity event on Sept. 17 were she will speak and also get to be part of the entertainment. Recently there was a charity event with the Cancer Association and a fashion show was done with wedding dresses – Shawniqua Stokes – MRS. SAN ANTONIO UA just happened to be modeling a beautiful wedding dress and was planning on wearing it the next day too, but as it turned out – the dress sold! Proceeds went to a great cause! Several of the San Antonio UA queens were involved in this fashion show. Cynthia Trinidad, owner of the San Antonio Roses dance team, won several special awards this summer! Way to go! Cynthia is our reigning MS. PETITE TEXAS UA. Cynthia is also responsible in helping with choreography for many of the pageants in the San Antonio area. Our date for our next PETITE UNITED AMERICA NATIONALS and the UNITED AMERICA NATIONALS pageant will be JUNE 23, 2012 – hope you can join us!
