Events from February 23-24 2013

What a crazy, but amazing weekend. Between Little Miss Fort Worth, Toast To Life Gala, Cowtown Marathon, oh and finals this next week, this weekend was a busy one.

Saturday morning we had our Little Miss Fort Worth pageant.  We crowned a new Baby, Tiny, Petite, and Junior Little Miss Fort Worth.  The girls were so cute!! I am so glad I got to audit and did not have to judge the precious young girls. On top of auditing, I also got to sing the opening song to kick the pageant off! I must say the costume competition was my favorite! One of the Baby contestants dressed up as the Little Mermaid and had her very small Chihuahua dressed up as a fish!! I have now decided that I want my puppies to be a part of my talent for Miss Texas :-)

Later Saturday night I got together with a bunch of other pageant sisters to help out at the Toast To Life Gala.  It was so much fun talking with all of the guests and selling raffle tickets to a trip to VEGAS! I got to put my amazing sales skills to work. Khrista Bishop, Miss Hunt County, and I worked together to sell a ton of these raffle tickets.  I think our spiel went something like “Have you heard about the amazing raffle? Well, it's a 3 night trip to Vegas with round trip airfare for two…….” It is so much fun to raise money for a good cause!

Sunday morning I was back in Fort Worth for the Cowtown Marathon. It was so exciting to be at the finishing line and cheer on all of the Half, Full, and Ultra Marathon finishers.  Probably the most exciting was to watch the Woman Full Marathon winner cross the finish line, breaking the Cowtown Woman’s Marathon record. Pictures from this event are posted on my twitter- @rachel_garrett and facebook.
