The Contestants Have Arrived!!

Update from the past 24 hours....

Contestants arrived yesterday before noon. The pageant week started with production meetings and rehearsals. In the afternoon, the contestants attended the 2010 Miss Missouri Golf Classic. It was a perfect day for golf! The event was followed by yet more rehearsals.

And the rehearsals continue. The contestants and production crew were up and at it for an 8:30am rehearsal. The contestants have all been fast learners! They learned all of the production material before lunch :)

Rehearsals continue later this evening...

We hope everyone is getting excited for Wednesday when preliminary competition begins!! Not only do we have 24 beautiful and talented contestants, but we have some amazing talent joining the principle cast for 2010. Hope everyone can make it to the show!

Pageant Week is Almost Upon Us

Is anyone else getting excited for pageant week??? Those of us at MMAO are anxious to arrive in Mexico, MO to see the magic come together!!!

We have 24 beautiful young women competing for the title of Miss Missouri 2010. These amazing ladies have been working very hard to prepare for the pageant. We are so proud of all the contestants for the hundreds of hours of volunteer work they have performed in their communities, especially their efforts to get support for Children's Miracle Network. Great work ladies!

Don't forget that MMAO will be "tweeting" throughout pageant week, as well as updating this blog. Follow us at MissMOAlumni on Twitter :)

Also, it's not too late to purchase your tickets for the pageant. We hope everyone can make it to the show.

And don't forget to submit your 2010 MMAO membership dues. The 2010 newsletter and membership form are located on the 2010 Pageant Page on the Miss Missouri website.

2010 Newsletter & Membership Info

The 2010 MMAO Newsletter has been completed including membership forms. We have been attempting to keep costs down by sending information out via email. Although a fantastic push to "go green" this poses us a challenge in having updated emails from everyone. In the next days, we are hoping to have the newsletter and membership information on the Miss Missouri Website. We will keep you posted as to when that happens.

In the meantime, you can email us at missmissourialumni@gmail.com to have the form sent to you.

Hope to see everyone at the pageant!

Bad Bloggers

Yes, we admit to being bad bloggers. This is new to the Miss Missouri Alumni Organization, so we have to get in the groove...

Anyone excited about Miss Missouri 2010 being only 2 months away?? Contestants report to the dorms in only 8 weeks!!

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Miss Missouri Pageant. Check out the Miss Missouri website (missmissouri.org) for more information on the anniversary celebration. We are pretty sure you will be amazed by the numbers of former contestants and former Miss Missouri's who will be in attendance :)

Also, tickets for the pageant go on sale May 1st! Be sure to order your tickets early! With the anniversary celebration, we are bound to be at max capacity at the Mexico Military Academy!

Last, but not least, a HUGE thank you to our current Miss Missouri, Tara Osseck, for being a fantastic role model and representative! We are extremely proud of all you have accomplished this year!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the pageant, June 9th-12th!
