EDITOR:
As Miss Nevada 2009 and a 17-year resident of the Carson Valley, I would like to extend my gratitude to some of the businesses of our hometown who have supported me on my journey to become Miss Nevada and hopefully the next Miss America: Pro Tech Auto, Drago's Salon, All About Dance, The Entertainer, World Gym, Andrew Terveer, Wind River Ranch, Itildo, and Chappell Ranch.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Your gracious support and generosity is truly humbling. If anyone within the community (or state for that matter) is interested in becoming a sponsor of the Miss Nevada Scholarship Organization or would like to book Miss Nevada for an appearance, please contact me at missnevada2009@hotmail.com.
I feel so fortunate to not only represent the great Silver State, but also this community which has provided me with so much love and support. Make sure to tune in on Jan. 30, 2010, at 8 p.m. on TLC (channel 47) to watch Miss America Live.
