Our pageant "Superbowl"

Last night was our Miss America party at Phyllis’s house where we all gathered to cheer on our Miss Connecticut, Ashley Glenn! I had fun with the Litchfield County girls and we were excited to see Domenica, Tiffany, Nancy, and Mary there as well. We had a great variety of food- featuring a grinder that was taller than me! There were crowns for everybody to wear, princess party favors, and balloons. Maggie organized our “dollar game” where Brianna won $15 for guessing the most contestants in the top 7. I was pleased when my pick, Miss Indiana, was crowned as the new Miss America. After the pageant we all went in the hot tub to cap a wonderful evening. Thank you Phyllis for hosting a memorable party.. we all had a great time!

PRINCESS TEA PARTY!

I am excited to announce our first fundraiser and event… the LITCHFIELD COUNTY PRINCESS TEA PARTY! The event invites Princesses of all ages to come and enjoy an enchanting day of glamour and magic! Princesses can accentuate their beauty with makeup, nail, and hair stations, while being dazzled by balloon animals, karaoke, dancing, games, raffles, door prizes, food, and of course tea! This special day is open to all those who wish to partake in the fun, and I would love to have our CT diamonds and other titleholders join in the excitement. The tea party will be held on March 7th at a time and place to be announced in the coming weeks. Be sure to dress in princess attire and I hope to see you there!

Welcome to my blog!

Hello everyone, my name is Brittany Decker and I am the newly crowned Miss Litchfield County 2009. The pageant was held on January 3rd at the Thomaston Opera House. I truly had the best time with all of the girls competing. Kirstin, Taylor, and I had the fun mirror backstage and all of us Miss contestants danced our hearts out to Tiffany’s Fresh Prince of Bel’Air music. Each and every girl was amazing that night and it really could have been anyone's title. However, I am very thankful that it is me who has this opportunity to represent Litchfield County!

Just a little bit about myself… I am a 19 year old sophomore attending Western New England College in Springfield, MA. I am a Communications major and a Psychology minor… focusing on broadcast journalism or possibly higher education. I am very involved on campus as a Peer Advisor, Vice President of the dance team, working as an Open House Associate and in the office of Dean of Students, and involved in many other clubs on campus. My hometown is Bristol, CT where I am also very involved. In my free time I love going to the gym, playing my guitar and singing, hanging out with friends, and volunteering.
The day after I won the title I went to Ashley’s send-off for Miss America. It was really great to see so many people there and Ashley looked incredible! I cannot wait to cheer her on at Miss America next weekend!!! Yesterday I went to the Miss Southington pageant where I watched Shannon Erickson get crowned. She did a wonderful job and I can’t wait to spend time and get to know her better at Miss Connecticut. It was also great to see Maggie, Tara and to crown Brianna Beyers our new Litchfield County Diamond! So far I have also met with Phyllis and Kirsten to discuss the plan for this year. We came up with so many new and exciting ideas for Litchfield County and we will be getting started right away! I will keep everybody updated… If you need to get in touch with me for any reason my new e-mail address is Misslitchfieldcounty2009@gmail.com... I look forward to hearing from you soon!
