Myself with Tara Wheeler - Miss Virginia MAO 2009

Tonight I attended the Miss Arlington MAO (Miss America Organization) local pageant. The director, staff and former queens did a fantastic job in producing the show. Due to much hard work on the part of the Executive Director and board many delegates are now able to further their education from scholarship monies won.

Awards were given for the following:
Preliminary Talent - Cynthia Nguyen
Preliminary Swimsuit - Stephanie Connelly
Preliminary Interview - Caressa Cameron
Community Service - Stephanie Connelly

3rd RU - Veronica Rohrmoser
2nd RU - Stephanie Connelly
1st RU - Cynthia Nguyen

At the end of the night Caressa Cameron garnered the highest score from the judges and the coveted 2009 Miss Arlington title.
