Joey Bartolomeo – (2005 judge) was senior writer @ “US Weekly”, but now at “People” magazine

"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 Idaho Falls Teen USA 2007 (became Miss Idaho Teen USA 2008 & was 4th runner-up at MISS 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)

"“Wow! What an experience it was for us to be involved with the Miss Idaho Teen USA pageant. We are very impressed with your organization and the professionalism you all demonstrate during these events. As a conservative father with no pageant experience, I’ll admit to some skepticism as we started down the path toward the pageant. My concerns were more than satisfied by you… It is apparent that you care a great deal about what you do, the people you work with, and especially the girls in the pageant. These are the reasons that this has been an entirely positive experience for Michaela and for all of us. Thank you.”"

Greg Delavan (parent of contestant)

"“I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN! You and all your staff! Everything that has happened over the pageant and rehearsals has helped me grow as a person so much! I look forward to COMPETING next year:) It’s been nothing but a blessing meeting you. The pageant really taught me that confidence really does come from inner beauty and respect for myself, granted I have always tried to be a good person and do what’s right, but it was so much more obvious when I went out on stage under a microscope and that’s when I knew there was no place to be fake here. I’m certain you are in charge to make a difference in the life of even one girl so they can hopefully influence others.”"

Brittany Lock – Miss West Boise Teen USA 2009 (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."

Lisa Hamman - Miss Boise USA 2007 & 2009 (contestant)
