Thank You!!!!


The 2015 Ohio International Pageant is in the record books! It was a success! We have so many people to thank for helping to make the event successful. Let the thanking begin!
Contestants:
As a pageant we couldn't have been prouder of all the contestants and for bringing their all. We hope to see them again in the future. Our 2016 pageant contestants have some big “heels” to fill.
International Pageant System:
The national staff supported our goals and process 100%!  They were happy to help us in anyway possible whether it was phone calls, faxing paperwork or just lending an ear to ask a question.  We know our winners, Raven (Miss Ohio International) and Shelby (Teen Ohio Internation) will make us proud at nationals in July.
Staff/Volunteers:
Oh my gosh, these people worked their tails off!!!  This was the first year for the Ohio International Pageants to be produced in Maumee Ohio. They did AMAZING! They dedicated their time and energy to make sure all tasks (big or small) were done with a smile and to the best of their ability. I couldn’t have asked for a better team!
Maumee Indoor Theatre:
Our venue was fantastic!  The staff there was unbelievably helpful and helped work through any kink that may have arisen. The venue was perfect for our pageant. We have only heard praise about the service everyone recieved. Looking forward to working with them again for the 2016 Ohio International Pageant (March 6th 2016).
Judges & Emcees:
The Judges what can I say!   The biggest thank you for taking time out of your lives to pick my first Miss and Miss Teen Ohio International.  You did an amazing Job!!!
Amy and Kristy- You two work so well together.  You would have thought you both had worked always together.   Could not have asked for better Emcee's.   You delivered better than I had imagined.   You both inspire me.  


Sponsors:
We couldn't have run a pageant without our sponsors. We had sponsors that supported contestants financially, educational opportunities, provided services, food, supplies, and lots of cheerleading for our ladies. The sponsors believed in our system and we are truly appreciative of their support.

We are extremely thankful to everyone that helped make the 2015 pageant possible!!!! We are already busy planning for the 2016 pageant! We love giving girls an opportunity to learn and grow through pageantry and look forward to doing that even more over the coming year!
Thank you all for going on this journey with us. As the Director I couldn't be more pleased with all of the love and support from everyone above and especially my family and friends. By them supporting my dreams I’ve been able to help make dreams come true for others!!


Truly thankful,
Gerri
