WELCOME TO BUFORD HOME OF THE WOLVES
Welcome It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 25th Anniversary of the Little Miss Buford and Miss Sweetheart of Georgia pageant! Each year we come together to support and empower these young ladies as they develop life-time skills of poise and self-confidence. Often times, we celebrate with them as they conquer fears and learn what it truly means to perform under pressure. It is not easy walking on a large stage, for the first time, in front of family and strangers, wearing a big poofy dress! We want each young lady to know that she can make a difference in her life and the lives of others through positive pageantry. The pageant also serves as a fundraiser for the Buford High School Band of Wolves music program. The monies raised assists in purchases of new equipment, repairs of current equipment and uniforms, new music, and travel expenses for competitions. Thank you to the many individuals and businesses who have sponsored these young ladies and offer continual support to the band. You are truly appreciated!
Today’s event will proceed with: • Presentation of delegates through their individual walk • Presentation of delegates by their age division • Recognition and crowning of Ambassadors, Winners of Prettiest Smile/Prettiest Hair/ Prettiest Dress, Most Photogenic, Royalty Awards, and Runner-Ups • Crowning and introduction of the 2018 Miss Buford and Miss Sweetheart of Georgia Queens After the conclusion of each division, delegates and queens may move into the lobby for photographs. Queens are not required to stay once the group photograph is complete. You are welcome to stay throughout the day to view other divisions. Again, thank you for entrusting your daughter, granddaughter, niece, and friend with us. Our hope is that you and your family enjoy the experiences of the day and remember, “every great dream begins with a dreamer.”
