Here is a video I shot with my friend Candi Reese, and her daughter Krystal Rivet, after I transferred ownership of the Miss Gretna Pageant and Miss West Bank Pageant to them. Since this was shot in 2009, Candi has lost her battle with cancer and has passed on to her Heavenly Home. Before her passing, Candi requested that Chantel Autin (Director of Crescent City Pageantry) and my self to guide and direct her daughter Krystal with the Pageant and Monogrammed business. We are honoring her wishes and will look out for our Pageant sister as she builds her Pageant Business Empire. Candi will be sadly missed in the Louisiana Pageant Industry. In loving memory of Candi Bryant Reese and Debra Freeman Balsamo, past directors of the Miss Gretna Pageant.

I talked about puchasing pageants in my book and in “The Complete Director’s Kit”.
