Sue Downey, the first Miss Ohio USA to win Miss USA in 1965.
We
have enjoyed a successful program over the past
few years and here are some testimonials of what
professionals, contestants and family members,
and titleholders have to say.
Listen
to what some business professionals
have to say . . .
You
offer each of the young ladies an opportunity
of growth and success in many areas. Thank
you. Our community is looking forward to
a long and strong relationship with you
in the years to come.
It
was a pleasure to again be a major sponsor
of the Pageants. The production is first
class all the way. Proctor Productions,
LLC. instills strong values in all of the
young women who participate. I am sure
the girls leave a much better person for
entering.
As
you are aware, I attend many pageants every
year on behalf of our magazine . . . Let
me commend you on your first-rate production.
It was gratifying to see how much care
was taken throughout the even to ensure
an outcome of total fairness and impartiality
for all who participated. Lastly, thank
you for your total professionalism and
boundless talent to direct such a successful
state pageant.
It
is a massive undertaking to put together
such a professional event, but Melissa
Proctor Pitchford does it with very high
ethical standards and class. People come
from all over the country to be involved.
On
behalf of the entire staff of the theater,
I sincerely thank you for bringing such
a first-class event to our venue. You and
your staff are a pleasure with which to
work and are professional in all aspects
of the event production.
As
a volunteer during the event, my perspective
allows me to see the interaction of the
leadership, staff, judges, and contestants.
Rarely have I seen MORE commitment to integrity,
fairness, grace and class.
I
just wanted to take this opportunity to
say thank you for allowing me to be a part
of the Miss Michigan USA and Miss Ohio
USA pageants. Being in my business, I have
seen many pageants, but non have been quite
as organized as these. I can't imagine
why any young lady wouldn't want to be
a part of something so fabulous.
This
year, having served as a judge for the
pageant, I have an even greater respect
and admiration for the effort that goes
into making the pageant the spectacular
production that it obviously has become.
The
prestige the pageant delivers has left
an indelible mark on our community. From
community leaders to those visiting our
city, I have heard nothing but high marks
for the pageant. I want to extend my thanks,
appreciation, and congratulations for a
fine event.
I
just wanted to say thank you so much for
allowing me to be a part of the pageant.
I had the time of my life. Your show was
by far one of the best. I would love to
be a part of your organization for years
to come.
You
and your organization are a class act.
I can see why you received the Director
of the Year award.
Listen to what
contestants and their families say
about the program . . .
First
of all, I just want to say . . . what a
wonderful production. This was my first
year and I was very impressed with every
aspect of the organization. You guys are
doing a wonderful job!
Thank
you for running a beautiful and professional
pageant! It was everything we expected
and more. What a learning experience for
my daughter!!
I
would like to take a moment to thank all
of the staff for helping all of us girls
the pageant weekend. Thank you for all
of the time and effort you put into making
the pageant happen. I had the time of my
life!
I
wanted to thank you for the opportunity
I had to be in the pageant. It was the
first pageant I have done, and it was a
truly wonderful learning experience. I
learned a lot about myself while preparing
for the pageant, and also about what I
want to do now for the future.
Thank
you so much for all of your hard work in
directing the pageants. I know it must
be a tough job keeping so many women organized,
together and scheduled! Every moment was
filled with excitement, challenge and fun
people.
I
know it takes a great deal of time, effort
and expertise to organize the pageants.
You do a marvelous job. The event is professionally
executed and wonderfully entertaining.
I
wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful
weekend. It will be an experience that
we will always remember. The production
was unbelievable. I thought we were at
the Miss USA pageant!
I
just wanted to say that this was our second
year at state and it was an absolutely
fantastic show! I couldn't believe how
beautiful the stage looked, especially
with all the girls on it! Hats off to you
and your crew for a job well done.
A
special thank you to all the chaperones
and volunteers. I know they worked very
hard and I was grateful for all of their
help and support. I learned a lot about
myself and will use that in the future!
Thank you for this opportunity . . . I
can't wait to come back next year!
I
have been to quite a few Miss USA preliminaries
in other states. None of them have even
come close to being as well run or as professional
as yours. Kent and Felicia are fantastic
and together you all made my first pageant
experience the best it could be.
I
would have NEVER in a million years thought
that I would be up on a stage in front
of people in my swimsuit. When I got out
on that stage after practicing with everyone,
I realized that I did have confidence and
I'm so happy that you guys at the pageant
helped me to find it. I just wanted to
thank you for that.
Here
is what some past titleholders have
to say . . .
I
just wanted to take some time to thank
you and tell you how much I appreciate
everything that you do and have done for
me. You're the best! I can't imagine what
I would do without you!
Thank
you over and over for your warm hearts.
I always felt truly welcome in your presence
or home. You helped make this past year
one I'll never forget.
Thank
you so much for your hospitality and generosity.
I couldn't ask for a more caring State
Director.
I
can't even begin to thank you for everything!
This year has been so incredible, and I
had so many memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you for all the time and dedication
you put into this program and into me.
I will miss you and love you very much!
I
am so glad to have this experience and
to have met you and gained so many new
friends.
I
had so much fun at Miss USA! Thank you
for all the preparation and for being the
best director, but also a friend. I'm so
glad God brought you into my life and I'm
looking forward to a great rest of the
year.
I
am so excited to see what the future holds,
but no matter what, I will walk away with
a new friend!
Where
do I begin? Thank you for everything. Thank
you for being the greatest director as
well as a friend. You have done more for
my life than you'll ever know.
Thank
you for producing such a well organized
pageant. I have thoroughly enjoyed my reign.
Thank
you so much for all of your love. I couldn't
be happier with my year. It's more than
I ever dreamed it could be. I will miss
being your queen and daughter.
Thank
you for believing in me. Out of all of
the incredible things that you do, that
has meant the most. Every woman who has
the opportunity to become your titleholder
will be forever changed for the better
because of it. Thank you.
You
have shared so many meaningful words of
advice that have helped me keep my head
held high—no matter
what the outcome of an event. Your love
and support and generosity have been greatly
appreciated. Thanks again for everything.
