2016 NBTA Texas State Championships

To start out our new blog, we felt there was no better way to get going than to post about the awesome 2016 NBTA Texas State Championship held last weekend in San Antonio.

A HUGE Congrats and Thank You to Contest Directors Margaret Mann, Tori Mays, Melinda White, and Heather Harmer. You all did an amazing job, The contest ran smooth, the awards were beautiful, and the facilities were wonderful.

We did want to also give a quick shout out to the Sweet Sensations for running a delicious concession stand. Taco Cabana, Nothing Bundt Cake, Chick-Fil-A, Marco's Pizza... I could go on and on.

Finally, we wanted to take a moment to recognize all our our new 2016 Texas State Pageant Winners. Congrats ladies! The State of Texas is so proud to have you all represent us at AYOP.
