| Below are just a few of the many e-mails and messages we have received after previous pageants. Our girls agree - the Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador Pageant is the life-changing, character-building experience of a lifetime in our province for young women! |

"Dear Isabelle,
I am writing this to you in hopes that I can express my gratitude for all your hard work at not only this
years pageant but at the two previous miss teen pageants I have taken part in. Through your hard work,
dedication and genuine caring for all those involved in your pageants I can honestly say that I had some of
the best times in my life while at the Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador Pageant. I walked away with no
crown........ but a better understanding and respect for myself and for my competitors (no...my friends!)
and perhaps that is more important.
You have this way of making all the girls at the pageant feel beautiful and I know first hand that everyone
appreciates it more than you will ever know. I never thought I would enjoy something like this but with
you, and everyone who made this pageant possible working as hard as you did, any girl in the province
would have enjoyed themselves. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"The Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador Pageant is, simply put, one of the best of its kind in Canada. It is
a shining light in the fight against the stigma of pageants being about outer beauty, and instead, stresses
the importance of excelling in academics, taking pride in one's physical fitness, being involved in the
community around you, but most of all, to be a confident and exceptional young woman in a world in such
need of strong leaders. Girls who go through this system will walk away more enriched and empowered than
you could ever imagine - my daughter, for one, has been forever changed, for the better. Thank you so
much for everything you are offering young women of Newfoundland and Labrador."
"I can't even think of words that can describe the weekend of the pageant. I met the most amazing girls
and chaperones in my life, everyone there touch me in a way I could never forget. This is one experience
in my life I will never forget, and you can count on me entering the pageant again next year. Even though
the pageant has ended all of our friendships have just begun. Thank you everyone for changing my life all
for the better."
"Going into this pageant people told me that I would make amazing friendships but I never grasped the full
spectrum of that statement until the last night, when the support and love for each other was so strong,
you could feel it. It was so enriching, and I have said so many times in the last two days how I've never
been in a competition like this. I miss you all already! Thank you again for such an amazing time."
"I had a truly unforgetable and memorable weekend, and I couldn't possibly have walked away any happier!
So much goes on behind the scenes, and I would like to commend the committee for all their hard work,
and for doing such a fabulous job! Also thanks to the girls. Each and everyone of you are truly great people
and so deserving of that title!"
"There were many amazing memories throughout the weekend of the Miss Teen NL Pageant that it is hard
to choose only one to write about - I made so many new friends and had the experience of a lifetime, I
definitely wanna try again next year, and am reccommending it to everyone I know! Sooooo much fun, I
already can't wait til next year!"
" I had so much fun the weekend of the pageant it is unbelievable, I never wanted to leave. And ever since
the weekend all I have been talking about and thinking about was how much fun it was. So thanks for
making my weekend so fun and special and I definitely want to come back next year!!"
"My sister and I make a point every year to take in your pageant - we buy our tickets early to get good
seats, and then the night of, we get dressed up and go out for dinner, and then to the show. It's become
an annual tradition for us - we just love it! The contestants look like they have a blast and it keeps getting
better every year, please keep up the outstanding work!"
"I have to thank you for letting me experience this pageant. These past years have made me such a better
person and none of this would be possible without your help. I've realized that I'm now capable of the
impossible. The confidence that I have gotten is incredible. I now feel I can do anything! Just knowing I
had you (and Chris) behind me 100% made everything so much easier. I can't thank you enough. This
pageant has made me believe in myself. This pageant gives the opportunity for young girls to show just
how much they can accomplish and again none of this is possible without you. I never could figure out
what my talent really was until now. I may not be the best at sports or music but I must have something to
do as well as I did. I'll admit I did do a lot of crying last night because I know that I will never get the
opportunity to experience something like this again. The girls were completely amazing and I love them all.
I wish you luck with future pageants and I would be delighted to help you with the pageant. Thank you for
making me a better person."
"I had such a good time this past weekend. The pageant will be with me forever! All the girls were amazing!
It was a great experience, and it was a great accomplishment to just make it to the pageant. I was
honored to be there and I hope to be back next year! I met 39 new friends this past weekend and I will
never forget any of you guys!"
"Wow!!! What an amazing weekend I had, everyone was so great and so sweet! I really miss all u girls, and I
hope that we can all keep in touch. I honestly did not know how nice everyone was, when I was stressed
everyone was there for me and I am so thankful for that. Sunday night was just so extraordinary. The
committee and all the chaprones did a wonderful job. There is only one way to know what I am talking
about and that is to experience it!"
"I have had the privilege and an honour to meet you all and spend an entire weekend with you. You girls
are, without a doubt, some of the most amazing girls I have ever met. I encourage you all to continue being
yourself and all that you can be. Each of you girls are unique individuals who have so much to offer, it was a
pleasure just to have met you. Thank you to Isabelle, Chris, Adam, and the entire pageant staff for truly
creating a one-of-a-kind pageant in our province - you guys are simply the best!"
"Congratulations to all 30 contestants! Everyone looked so beautiful and poised ! A job well done! Chris and
Isabelle, I sincerely enjoyed watching the show last night. It was spectacular ! Cannot wait for next year
and all of the surprises that it will bring, wouldn't miss it!"
"Just wanted to write a quick note to say that last night's show was unbelievable! The lights, music,
dancing, excitement, my friends and I got so into it! Enjoyed ourselves immensely and will definitely be
taking it in again - the show was like something you'd expect from Miss Universe, but right here in St.
John's! Incredible, and congrats on the sell-out crowd!"
"Wow! It only seems like yesterday I was getting all excited to attend the Miss Teen Pageant in 2006! You
never know what to expect, you just hope you have a good time, but the memories you get out of the
weekend are more than you could have ever expected. I have more jealousy for you girls than you can
even imagine, I wish I was participating again this year. I have gained so much from one weekend with a
group of girls I had never met. You meet friends that you never lose touch with (after 2 years I am still very
close with alot of the girls) And you grow as a person, it takes alot of nerve to participate in something like
this, and I know I didn't think I could do it! I would just like to say good luck girls, and have fun! and
remember to BE YOURSELF!!! that will get you farther in this competition than anything!"
"I just wanted to congratulate everyone on a beautiful pageant. All of you put your best foot forward and
in my eyes I think you all should be crowned. I had a fantastic weekend and loved spending time with all of
you. I wish the weekend could have been longer because I didn't get to know all of you as much as I would
have liked to. I am so proud that there are so many positive young women in our province and believe that
ALL of you will become superstars. I hope to see all you back again.....Please keep in touch"
"I just wanted to say that the pageant has definitely changed my life forever. I've got way more confidence
than i had before the pageant and i didn't even think that was possible!"
"WOW! Isabelle and Chris, you both did an excellent job with this years show! It was amazing! Full of great
energy! We had a fantastic time, as always - wouldn't miss it for the world!"
"I had a blast! Thank you so much. I thought the show was great, but we certainly couldn't have done it
without you. I felt really comfortable right away. I'm definitely interested in coming back next year!
Looking forward to it already. :o) This weekend was so much more than I expected. I realized that winning
didn't matter at all. It was so much fun that I just loved the experience and meeting the people. I'm
defintely up for trying again next year!"
"What a weekend guys! It was just one huge rollercoaster of emotion!!! I miss you all so much!!! Last night
was the most amazing experience of my life and I feel so blessed to have been able to share it with you all.
I really don't even know where to begin..... you were all so wonderful and anyone of us could have
accepted the title and done an amazing job! Over the weekend we all became so close and the friendships
that developed were so amazing! I could not have asked for a better group of girls to share this with. I
can't wait to see you all again!"
"I never got a chance after the pageant night to thank you and all of the chaperones for all that you did for
me. You made the pageant an experience for me that I will never forget! It was definitely a weekend to
remember. I am sure all of the other girls will agree! It was a great opportunity for me to meet new friends
and to get know some really great people! Thank you for a wonderful weekend!"
"Internationally known pageant expert Jimmy Steele was at the event, and he told PNB that the pageant
showed "professionalism and excellence" of a high order. "I have never seen a pageant that has given so
much to its contestants in such a short time," he said. "The intangible growth the girls experienced far
outweighed the very tangible, and large, prize package." Such praise from Mr. Steele is an honor in itself."
(Taken from the Pageant News Bureau)
"This weekend just flew by, didn't it? I made 39 - more than that - new friends and had the most amazing
time. Every girl at the pageant was certainly deserving of the award!! You're all beautiful and wonderful and
I'm so lucky to have met you! Thank you, girls, the committee and the chaperones, for making this weekend
phenomenal. I have so many memories that I'll treasure forever; so many good times and so much
laughter. It's been a terrific weekend and you're all terrific people...thank you for making this so great!"
"All the contestants look like they had so much fun. An experience such as this pageant is one you will
never forget...hold it dear to your heart. You all looked amazing."
"My several days in Newfoundland were magical and beyond amazing. I give total credit to the Miss Teen
Nfld & Labrador Pageant Committee for their ceaseless work in truly making this one of the best
pageants in the country."
-Jimmy Steele
"I would first like to take this opportunity to thank all 39 contestants for their warmth and thoughtfulness
throughout pageant weekend. I am so impressed with your abilities as teenagers and your incredible
personalities. I have never met anyone in my 16 years as incredible and sweet as all of you. I have made
friends that will last a life time and I guarantee I will never forget all of you. Each one of you are special
and unique in your own way. I am looking forward to meeting you again in the near future and always
remember to keep on reaching for the top because you are all extraordinary people."
"Just a note to say thank you from "the bottom of my heart" for giving me the opportunity of being a judge
in the 2003 Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador Pageant. In my bio for the program, I had said that
winning the title Miss Nfld 1964 was "a most memorable life experience" and this past weekend proved to
be another! When the girls were asked during their interviews if they were having a good time, many
answered "It's awesome" - my sentiments exactly!"
-Olga Taylor, Miss Newfoundland 1964
"When I think back to the weekend, and the memories I have, you are the only ones that I can thank,
because without you, there would be nothing to cherish. You put off not only an outstanding weekend,
and an unforgettable show, but you have also proved to be wonderful role models, and I will always be
grateful for you."
"I would just like to say that I had the best time of my life at the pageant and I enjoyed it a great great
deal. It was an awesome experience for future. The pageant night was so so exciting!"
"There are two words to describe the weekend: Absolutely Amazing! I met so many kind and wonderful
this weekend its overwhelming. Everyone of you had intelligence, poise, and confidence and it makes me
happy just to be your friend!"
"Where Do I Start? This weekend has been the most wonderful weekend I've ever experienced! Meeting all
of you girls was the most amazing experience I could ask for! I went into the registration room Thursday
morning and I didn't know one girl. And now I've come out of this with countless new friends, not to
mention all the others involved with the pageant weekend. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime, I'll
definitely be back!"
-Danielle Seward, Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador 2007
(Comments after the 2004 Pageant)
"Girls, I am so honoured to have shared the stage with each and every one of you. The memories you have
given me are ones that I will cherish this lifetime and beyond. You are the difference that makes a
difference, and I am anticipating great things for all of you."
"To all the other 36 wonderful contestants, you will remain in my heart forever. You girls were all so
deserving of the crown, but with or without the title, you will make a difference. I went to this weekend
not really sure what to expect. I never could have imagined I would leave having experienced what I had. I
have gained so many new friendships, and so many memories I will cherish forever. You girls were all
absolutely beautiful, and I encourage you search deep into your individuality, and find who you really are
and reach for the stars. Be the REAL you! Each one of you are representatives of the town you wore on
your sash. Remember that! Make them proud, and do them well, and I know that you will. I love each one
of you, and it brings me joy to realize that there are totally amazing and quality girls in our province who
are making a difference. Go get 'em girls. Please never lose touch!"
"You made my first pageant something I will never forget and you have touched my life in so many ways!"
"I just wanted to say a special thank you to the both of you for making this such an unforgettable
weekend! Your hard work and dedication is what makes the Miss Teen Pageant such a success every year."
"Thank you so much for putting off such a professional, classy event. My daughter had the time of her life,
and hasn't stopped talking about it since! This country needs more pageants like yours - truly a
life-changing experience for every girl who enters."
"I went too the pageant not expecting anything...I never imagined that a weekend could make so many
new friends and of course so many unforgettable memories. You are all winners in you own way and I am so
glad that everyone recognized it. At first I was nervous to go to the pageant because I often get a hard
time for the person I am...it took a lot of courage and determination to go there and I am so glad I did....I
found out that it is ok to be different. Thanks again for the life time of memories and I can't wait to see
the wonderful women you each turn out to be =) We are the leaders of tomorrow making a difference
today!"
"I am so happy to have met all of you and though this has been my first and last year in this pageant due to
my age, I will take each and every memory with me throughout my life. You all have a place in my heart.. I
have learned so much by just being in your presence and wish you only the best in life!"
"I would just like to say that pageant weekend was one of the best experiences of my life! everyone was
sooo friendly, all of you guys are great!! Please keep in touch!"
"Oh my god i don't know where to start. First of all, I give my greatest thanks to The Pageant Committee!
Besides the amazing time I had, I have to thank all the people who work behind the scenes to make the
weekend that much more special!! From the laughter to the tears (which were alot..hehe) I wouldn't
change an thing! TO ALL THE CONTESTANTS YOU WERE THE MOST CARING AND FUN BUNCH OF GIRLS I
HAVE EVER MET AND I HOPE YOU ALL KEEP IN TOUCH!"
"The memories we made areeeeeeeeeee unforgettable and will always be in a special part of my heart..I
could not possibly write everything I would like to say here but I would have to go on forever, but
everything that happened is very important to me and I'll never forget it."
"I'd just like to say that i had a wonderful time this weekend and i loved every girl i met! i had the time of
my life, and you all would have made a great miss teen!"
"Hello Chris!
I wanted to say thanks for having me at Miss Teen and congrats on an awesome event! I had SO much fun!"
"I just wanted to wish good luck to all the contestants for the 2008 Miss Teen Newfoundland & Labrador
Pageant! The pageant weekend is filled with fun and excitement and it is truly an experience to
remember."
"Isabelle, you have so much beauty and stamina. I look up to you as a person and a friend. If I could turn out
a quarter as strong as you I will be very proud. You have taught me so many things that I will carry with me
for the rest of my life. You are true pageant queen and always will be one. Thank you Isabelle for the once
in a life time opportunity. I am with you 'til the end. I love you."
"Chris, Thank you for all the hard work you put into the pageant. If it wern't for you I wouldn't have had the
best weekend of my life. Your creativity and humour are awsome and your part in the Single Ladies dance
the best thing ever!!"
"thanks for giving me one of the best weekends of my life. i can not even say how much fun i had and how
happy i am to have met you guys. i hope to keep in touch with all of you :)"
" Hi Chris,
I want just to say what a phenomenal event that you put off on Sunday night. All the girls were amazing. It
keeps getting better each year. Can't wait to hear what you have in store for next year."
" I'm so glad that I came to see the pageant, I'll def go again next year!! It was more exciting than I ever
could have imagined, I was on the edge of my seat - the girls were amazing, great job!!"

"To all the other 36 wonderful contestants, you will remain in my heart forever. You girls were all so
deserving of the crown, but with or without the title, you will make a difference. I went to this weekend
not really sure what to expect. I never could have imagined I would leave having experienced what I had. I
have gained so many new friendships, and so many memories I will cherish forever. You girls were all
absolutely beautiful, and I encourage you search deep into your individuality, and find who you really are
and reach for the stars. Be the REAL you! Each one of you are representatives of the town you wore on
your sash. Remember that! Make them proud, and do them well, and I know that you will. I love each one
of you, and it brings me joy to realize that there are totally amazing and quality girls in our province who
are making a difference. Go get 'em girls. Please never lose touch!"

new friends and of course so many unforgettable memories. You are all winners in you own way and I am so
glad that everyone recognized it. At first I was nervous to go to the pageant because I often get a hard
time for the person I am...it took a lot of courage and determination to go there and I am so glad I did....I
found out that it is ok to be different. Thanks again for the life time of memories and I can't wait to see
the wonderful women you each turn out to be =) We are the leaders of tomorrow making a difference
today!"
