Queens in the making waiting patiently

10 o'clock pm and the first car arrives. The beauty queens have landed. The scene is set for an event like no other. The Red Carpet has been rolled out and the spotlight is turned to bright! Waiting patiently behind the red velvet ropes are tiny, bright-eyed queens in the making hoping for their chance to glimpse their favorite crowned beauty. Squeals are audible and clapping follows.

They made it!

Geaux Freaux Yeaux!

2011Miss Louisiana Hope Anderson

2011 Miss Louisiana herself, Hope Anderson, leads the procession down the red carpet waving to the adoring 50 plus fans waiting patiently on their arrival. Camera crews and photographers are perched in the perfect place to capture the perfect moment as it happens. Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt in Monroe was the place and the Miss Louisiana Pageant contestants, along with their 14 hostesses were the honored guests at the 2nd annual Red Carpet event. Each contestant wore a specially designed Orange Leaf/Miss Louisiana shirt made especially for this event. And, if that wasn't enough, there was even yet another surprise. A GLOW party. Orange Leaf Monroe turned their party room into a BlackLight wonderland with glow-in-the-dark tape, posters, lights, and glow sticks for days! Bandanas and Tiaras that glowed were a few of the accessories that were given out for the guest to enjoy! Glow in the Dark Face-Painting was offered to each guest as an added FUN element and Hula Hoops that created a GLOW circle were a HIT!

As the event was winding down, one by one, each contestant came up to the Orange Leaf Monroe staff and said thank you for the shirts, freaux yeaux, and said how much they enjoyed the event.
