It was a very large parade and we were very proud to be part of a longstanding tradition!Amanda's Grandfather, Eugene Migliaro, Jr., Commissioner of the Department of Veterans Affairs, was the Grand Marshall.
Memorial Day Weekend was incredibly exciting and busy for us!Sunday, we started out in the Waterbury Memorial Day Parade. We also pose with our handiwork! Our sponsors, Durable Companies, loaned a flatbed to us so that we could sing during the parade.
Posing with our new signs! Our guys - Stacy's Dad, Mike, our friend Joe and Kimberly's beau, David!
Christi's little brother, Bobby and younger sister Julie, both came to the parade. Our Jrs., Carolyn and Chelsea also joined us for the parade. Helicopter Salute!

Saturday, May 18th, we visited the Seniors at Wolcott View Manor for a day of fun. They were great fun......and they enjoyed singing along......to our medleys of hits.
They especially enjoyed the performance by our Jr. Glory Girl, Chelsea.
It was a day of fun for everyone and we hope to be back there soon!

Connecticut (still a Virginia gal at heart!), United States
I've been so blessed to have such a wonderful life! It's because of pageants that I even realized my full performance potential. After I became involved in the Miss Virginia America preliminaries, I was encouraged by many to sing. (My first talent was comedy!) I then became part of the Miss VA U.S.O. Troupe. I moved from my home in VA to Connecticut and became a member of the Miss CT U.S.O. Troupe and subsequently, a Liberty Miss. I was blessed to tour 6 times to over 15 countries performing for our Troops. In 2000, another Liberty Miss and I formed The Glory Girls and we've performed for our Veterans ever since. I also act, dance and serve my community and have logged over 7,000 volunteer hours!
Also in 2000, I met my wonderful husband, David; we were married in 2003; and had our first child, Delilah, in 2005. I still enjoy pageants to this day and thank my lucky stars for the doors that they opened! I am constantly updating my websites below, so feel free to keep checking back. (It takes a loooong time to scan all those photos in!)
(P.S.: Everyone says that I'll probably be the oldest pageant queen/U.S.O. performer in the world! I think I'm okay with that!)
