The 25th annual Beauties of America national pageant shined brightly on its silver anniversary with its most spectacular national pageant ever. Celebrating beauty and achievement at every age, the 2009 national dele- gates enjoyed a fun-filled weekend in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with the breathtaking Myrtle Beach Convention Center as the venue.
The pageant began on Thursday, at the Convention Center with the 2009 delegates arriving throughout the day. After checking in at the adjacent Sheraton Hotel, a four-diamond resort located in the heart of Myrtle Beach, delegates enjoyed orientation where they met the 2008 national queens and pageant staff, received gift bags and goodies from the pageant and its sponsors, and were greeted by National Director Jennifer Reed. Following an overview of the pageant weekend and an official welcome by each of the 2008 national queens, each delegate was presented with a Certificate of Participation by the Beauties of America Pageant and individually acknowledged as a Beauties of America state title holder.
Beauties of America delegates were then whisked away to their opening night dinner party via stretch Hummer limousine. Upon their arrival at the Hard Rock Café, delegates were escorted to a private dining room to enjoy their visit, but not before signing autographs and taking photos with tourists and fans that had gathered at the restaurant.
Upon returning to the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, delegates attended An Evening with the Queens, a seminar featuring
