Alicia Wallace Crowned 2009 Miss Auburn

I had a wonderful time this past February traveling with Janet and Peggy to the Miss Auburn 2009 pageant.








We had a great time backstage at the Auburn pageant and the young women were
wonderful.




All the beautiful contestants - there was a fabulous "Hollywood" theme.



Crowning the runner's ups. (First runner up not pictured - I lost the photo - send me your copy if you have one!)







The curtain at the Auburn pageant had a mind of it's own, and after playing her Miss America talent piece Janet was "attacked" by the curtain. I squealed in the wings and she just about couldn't pull herself together enough to head out to the audience for the second half of the show. We are all human - right?! :)





Announcement and Crowning of the new Miss Auburn - Alicia Wallace....




The Miss Auburn Scholarship Program crowned Alicia Wallace as the 2009 Miss Auburn on Jan. 31. Wallace, 23, is a senior at Seattle Pacific University and aspires to earn her M.B.A and move into urban planning. Her platform, Mentorships: Inspiring and Encouraging Growth in Young Women, will be furthered through the Big Brothers, Big Sisters programs.

The well-traveled Wallace will begin her service as Miss Auburn immediately and takes over for the outgoing Miss Auburn Cara Rudd.
