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!
