My Journey as Miss Jr. Teen Virginia United States: The Buena Vista Egg Hunt

At about 11 o'clock at night on April 6th, my pageant sisters Jamie, Taylor, and I all arrived at our host town, Buena Vista. Jamie's mom acted as our lovely chauffeur for the whole day! We stayed at the Best Western for the night so that we could sleep in later the next day (which was a blessing!). Even with that extra sleep, we were up and running about,by 8 o'clock the next day, trying to get ready. By 11 o'clock, we had arrived at a local formal dress shop called Becky's Bridal. The owner, Becky, dressed us in adorable Easter-themed dresses for the Easter egg hunt at noon. She was so sweet, and such a pleasure to be around! We followed her husband to the Easter Egg hunt, which had an amazing view of the entire town. The beautiful mountains in the background simply took our breath away! As soon as we got there, we were shocked at how many people had showed up for hunt. Mr. Ronnie Coffee welcomed us and was such a kind host. For a small town, they really knew how to bring the community together and celebrate a wonderful holiday. After taking a few pictures, we started hiding eggs wherever we could. It took only a split second for all the Easter eggs, prizes and candy to disappear! As soon as the egg hunt was over, Taylor, Jamie, and I signed a few autographs and were able to judge the kite festival. The weather matched the day, and was absolutely perfect. The three of us couldn't have asked for a better weekend. Thank you everyone for your generosity! We can't wait to come and visit again. :) This was my first appearance as Miss Junior Teen Virginia, and it is only making me even more excited for what's to come!
