The Mrs.
Texas United States®
Pageant, licensed to Queen Bee Productions for the last four
years, has announced plans to actively look for local
directors for the 2009 pageant season, which begins August
1, 2008.
Applications are being accepted from individuals and groups
who wish to produce a local preliminary competition in their
geographic area. There will be no additional franchise fees
other than the state entry fee, which will not change for
2009. A compensation plan will also be in place to encourage
more contestants to enter the state competition in addition
to the local winner from the geographic area given to the
local director.
Local
competitions may be held September 1, 2008 through April 1,
2009. The state competition is scheduled for April 17-19,
2009 in Frisco, Texas.

in her life was winning
"Mrs. Texas". She then
