Taralyn was given the Jr Miss State Model Queen about two weeks before Nationals. The girl that won it in her division gave up her crown so it went to the runner-up. She will get crowned at the first prelim pageant she attends. Because she is a queen, she had to compete in the national pageant in Chickasha, Oklahoma. It was July 26-30. Needless to say she didn't crown or even make the Top 10 but she did great for her first nationals. She did win 2nd place for her Jungle Jive outfit. She learned alot and now we know what to expect when we go next year. Her age group has got to be one of the toughest there is. Enjoy the pics and I will post more when I get the others scanned.
