A busy day in Charlotte, NC!

To start off the Holiday Season I took a trip to a very special place that will always be dear to my heart, Levine's Children's Hospital. Over my years as a Queen I have always loved coming here and meeting new children and seeing again those children that hold a special place in my heart! This year I was blessed to have over 200 stuffed animals to bring to the children. As I walked around to each floor and to every room in the hospital you could see the excitement in every child's face, although the shiny crown may have helped some. No matter what the age new born to fifteen everyone was excited to pick out a new stuff animal, either for them or their little brothers or sisters! I met so many special children as well as people that day and even got to sing for a few special "princess." Thank You so much Levine's Children's Hospital for letting me share my toys but Thank You mostly for letting me make such good friends!

After Leaving Levine's Children's Hospital, Mom and I hopped in the car and headed to Time Warner Arena for me to sing the National Anthem at the NBA Bobcats basketball game! I can honestly say I feel like I am apart of the "Bobcat Family" this was my 8th time singing the National Anthem but it gets better to sing there every time! Here are a few pics of me singing at the gam, having some fun with the boys of the Rally Cats and with one of my favorite Bobcat players ACIE LAW!

GOOOOOO BOBCATSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

SING SING SING!!!!

Singing for a few tips for the Masonic Home at Flip Flops in Gastonia, NC!
Great help from Kara.....LOOK AT ALL THE GIFTS!!!!

As some of you know I LOVE TO SING! Over my Christmas break I thought what better way to raise money and awareness of the Masonic Home in Oxford, NC than to get out in my community and SING! At a local restaurant FLIP FLOPS in Gastonia, NC I participated in a toy drive for the children at Oxford! Locals came and supported the children by bringing a toy and giving me tips that night! I am so proud to say that we raised $500.00 and collected almost 100 toys! It was great to see so many people come out to the event to support such a special cause to me and to the Little Miss North Carolina organization.

Miss Bessemer City Pageant!

A special thanks to Miss Bessemer City High School Pageant for asking me to come and entertain as well as helping me raise money and awareness for the Masonic Children's Home in Oxford! I had so much fun!

Miss North Carolina, Katherine Southard, and her little princess Alex Franks, Miss Mt Holly's OT, Tiffany Payne, and Me all before the pageant!

Congrats to these two for being the top fundraiser for the Masonic Home.

My First Masonic Home Visit

Before I left for school, I was finally able to make my way up to Oxford for a wonderful weekend at the Masonic Children's Home. I learned all about how the home was started, how the kids lived, worked, ate and even learned about how they dated! It was awesome to see how hard everyone has worked to make the home such a great place to live. The Houghes family showed me around along with some new friends at the home! I am so thankful to be apart of the Little Miss NC foundation, and to be able to support such a great cause. My personal goal for the Little Miss Queens and I is to raise $35,000; in this economy it won't be easy but I KNOW we can do it! If you have anyway you or someone you know would like to help please email and let me know, the court of Little Miss NC will do anything to make it possible to reach our goal! Keep the Children's Home as well as The Houghes and the Little Miss NC Queens in your prayers, we are all ready to make a difference!

Much Love,

Miss NC Majestic Queen goes to College

WOW! College is so fun....and busy....and stressful....but so fun. I am currently at Belmont University in Nashville, TN!!! Music City!!! If you know me you know that I love that, there is always a show going on around here, and certainly never a dull moment. I am studing Commercial Voice Performance here at Belmont, and everyday I feel blessed to be apart of such an amazing school that has been the foundation for so many famous artist. Brad Paisley, Trisha Yearwood, Leann Womack, and even Minnie Pearl just to name a few that got their start here. I miss home and my wonderful state, but that just goes to show you that those NC girls are going places, and when we go we take a little bit of NC wherever we are! This weekend I will be coming home to help out with entertainment and crowning at Miss Bessemer City High School, I will also be at Little Miss Gastonia. Come out and support the NC girls in your community who knows where they will go in the future!!!

Much Love,

VICTORIA

Crowning Moment with Miss NC

After working so hard it was so nice to here my named called as Miss NC Majestic Queen. It was not only fitting that my moms birthday was a few days away and she was actually turning my contestant number (46) but also that I was going to get crowned by Miss NC. Every year its always been an honor to be crown by our own Miss NC, but personally for me it was more than an honor. I had the pleasure of not only getting to know Katherine throughout my years of pageants, but also being her sister queen under the Miss Mt Holly organization. Katherine and I spent the year together as the Mt. Holly queens not just doing appearances and competing at Miss NC and NC Outstanding Teen, but also growing as a family! We have both been blessed this year and I hope we will continue to be blessed as we represent our home state and communities! I am so very excited to be "out and about" in NC and share with our people the story of the Masonic Home and also promote our great Little Miss NC organization!

Love Bunches!!!

Miss Gastonia- Mikhalia Leinbach

Miss Gaston County OT- Lauren Hossfeld

Miss Gastonia OT- Hannah Baldwin

Being a former Miss Gaston County's Outstanding Teen I traveled to Gaston College to see who would wear the 2010 Miss Gastonia and Miss Gaston County's Outstanding Teen title. The competition was very close as far as I could tell but only two girls could take away the title. The ladies competed in Interview, On stage question, Fitness, Evening Gown, and Talent. I could tell that every girl had worked hard to look so good on stage. Everyone did such a great job and should be proud of their accomplishments at the pageant. Hannah Baldwin took the title of Miss Gastonia's Outstanding Teen as Lauren Hossfeld was crowned the new Miss Gaston County's Outstanding Teen. These girls will have a great year representing the wonderful town of Gastonia as well as competing at Miss North Carolina's Outstanding Teen Pageant in June! Gastonia had a busy day on Saturday not only did they crown two wonderful teens but also two Miss titles were given. Special Congratulations to the new Miss Gastonia Mikhaila Leinbach and to Shaina Anderson our new Miss Gaston County! These girls will also have an awesome year representing Gastonia and competitng in the Miss North Carolina Pageant also held in June. Congrats girls....so happy and proud of those Gastonia girls!
