I just got back from Georgia, where we assisted in crowning the new Mrs. Georgia America, Shauna Rowland. Mrs. Iowa, Laura <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Diers</span> and Mrs. Minnesota, Wendi Russo were present as well. Faith &amp; Carl <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Schway</span> are the state directors for Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Georgia. It has been tradition for them to fly out the winners to their other pageants! Not only does it help you get your feet wet with public appearances, but it is also a bonding time with your fellow queens. </div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215854556054009554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hXWSJzNNg7A/SGJwFX2zttI/AAAAAAAAAA4/eSgfDtsuxXU/s400/pageant+111.jpg" border="0" />Georgia had many fine contenders on the quest for the crown as you can see. It was a tough competition and I quite enjoyed sitting in the audience for a change. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">I contacted a personal training facility to see if they would assist in sponsoring me in my goals of becoming the next Mrs. America. To my delight, they offered $3000.00 worth of personal training and nutritional services. Peak Performance in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Pewaukee</span>, WI. I went in today for my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">initial</span> consult. I have a feeling that I am going to be sore for the next 8 weeks! Feel free to visit their site at <a href="http://www.peakperformancewi.com/">http://www.peakperformancewi.com/</a>. I would like to extend a gracious Thank You to Doug &amp; Ryan for all of their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">expertise</span>.
