First runner-up, Miss Kansas, Caitlin Taylor!

I had the pleasure of traveling to Foggy Bottom Boutique in Wichita, Kansas twice during the winter of 2010 for trunk shows and made some dear friendships that mean a great deal to me. The owner of FBB, Beth George, has been so supportive during Breeziway's growth, and I am proud to be of some support to the lovely and talented young women who staff her boutique during their pageant endeavors. One of them, Cat Taylor, has just won the title of first runner-up in the Miss Kansas (Miss America) pageant. I am so excited about her accomplishment. . . Next year will be the year for nationals, Cat! I feel it!

Caitlin earned the title of Miss Rosehill 2011 to enter the Miss Kansas pageant. She lives her platform of Severe Weather Awareness, as a tornado chaser and advanced meteorology student at the University of Oklahoma. She won both the swimsuit and talent prelim competitions in this current pageant. Way to go, Cat!

Miss Wooded Hills 2011, Carissa Kelley, won the title of Miss Kansas 2011 and will represent the state in the upcoming Miss America pageant. Congratulations & best wishes, Carissa!
