"Wow, this past year’s pageant rocked! I really enjoyed the opening number and I met the sweetest people in the world. Even though I didn’t win, I was honored with the title of Miss Spirit. I wish the best for the winner and hope to do the pageant again soon. Thanks for a memorable experience!"

Elisabeth Jackson – Miss Thurston County Teen USA (2007-2008 WA contestant)

"Thank you for all your work behind the scenes for a spectacular weekend. We really appreciate your work in making this a great experience for Maddy and all the contestants. It was an entertaining and fun weekend for all of us… I can’t vouch for other contestant parents/family, but I will say for us that it’s a weekend that will be talked about in our family for many years, if not generations, and I wanted to say thank you for your hard work and role in making that happen."

Ross Smith (parent of WA contestant)

"Competing at Miss Idaho USA was a fantastic experience that I will cherish for years to come! The pageant offered me a safe and supportive environment to challenge myself to grow as an individual. I was also able to meet amazing women from across the state. I would recommend the Miss Idaho USA pageant to any woman looking for fun, friendship, personal growth, and a truly incredible experience."

Tracey Brown - Miss Post Falls 2007 contestant (became MISS IDAHO USA 2008)

"It was such an amazing and fun opportunity and something I will never forget. I’ve been telling everyone how impressed I was by the contestants. I only wish I could have talked to more of them when it was over…I can’t wait to watch the MISS USA and MISS TEEN USA pageants next year!"

Joey Bartolomeo – senior writer @ “US Weekly” magazine (2004-2005 celebrity judge)

"Competing in the Miss Idaho Teen USA pageant was an incredible opportunity, I will never forget. The staff made my experience memorable. They encouraged and gave me a lot of positive feedback. Since this was my first pageant, I challenged myself and grew as a young woman. I now have a passion for the USA organization. Thanks to all involved!"

Shareece Pfeiffer – Miss Bonneville County Teen USA 2007 contestant (became MISS IDAHO TEEN USA 2008)

"The staff, contestants, and the pageant itself could not have been any better! I was sad when the weekend had to come to an end; however, the experience that I received from competing was one of the best experiences and opportunities that I have had thus far. Thanks!"

Courtney Conner – Miss Ada County USA (2007-2008 repeat contestant)

"My daughter has been untrusting of other girls since she’s been poorly treated and hurt by them…I was concerned that this pageant would be the same. On the way home from the pageant, she began to cry and I asked her why…to my surprise, she said that she didn’t want the weekend to end. She’d had a lot of fun and met some terrific girls. It was so great for her to meet such wonderful, caring girls and although they were in a competitive situation, they still managed to be kind and friendly. Thank you for the opportunity to learn this most important lesson. You all did a fantastic job over the weekend…you were well organized, kind, informative and managed to smile on very little sleep! Thank you."

Rebecca (parent of WA contestant)

"I just wanted to let all of you and the staff know that this experience was amazing. I left the event with a strengthened sense of confidence, memories to last a lifetime, and friendships that will continue to grow. The Miss Idaho USA pageant has been a inspiring moment in my life."
