My first official appearance as Ms. Louisiana Relay for Life IV took place in Ville Platte on Saturday, August 27, 2011 at the Louisiana Tournoi Queen Pageant. The trip down south was rather eventful, complete with a shredded tire, a flat spare tire, a ride on the floor of a wrecker truck, another car having electrical issues, and finally arriving in Opelousas just before midnight. I was lucky enough to have the company of Amanda Laborde, Miss Louisiana Plus America for the trip, and we very much enjoyed the hospitality of the Cosgrove-Richard household throughout the weekend.
The Tournoi Pageant is a unique experience. Each visiting queen processed through a presentation of knights with lances on the way to the microphone for introductions, and I enjoyed the company of Jacquelilne Shilo-Gradnigo, Ms. Washington Catfish, during the pageant. Congratulations to Winter Duhon, the new Louisiana Tournoi Queen, and one of Alpha Delta Pi sisters. My dear friend Amanda did a wonderful job in the competition. They both looked absolutely beautiful and performed with grace and confidence. Love to both of you!
