d. 5 inch crown available through http://www.sweetpotatoqueens.com/ (donated by the Berry Bossiest Queen for the first pageant) Note: It is IN and it is HUGE and it is
SPARK-LYicious ladies!
VI. Fundraising
a. Each applicant must provide a donation for SNAP and Solomon House to be turned in with filled out application as part of the groveling/sucking up process. These will be delivered the Monday after the pageant rehearsal Friday, Sept. 12, 6-8 pm.
b. Each applicant will need a business to sponsor her in the Berry Queen Ball program to include a picture of the P0-tential Queen in her costume and an advertisement for her sponsor to be handed out during the pageant. The ads will be $100.00 each. They must also sell 10 tickets each to the ball.
c. Though there will be a cash bar at the ball, Queens will be given a table that they will decorate and set up to their own hearts desire for their sponsors/invited guests which will allow a place for their guests to congregate. Chairs and tables provided but decorations are solely the responsibility of the Queen herownself. These should be small round tables to allow for as much room as possible. (Maybe only 4-5 chairs per table?) See http://www.orientaltrading.com/ for ideas. Put tiara in the search box! They also have some light up stuff, like shot glasses and rings that are neat. They also have table covers and gift bags, etc.
d. private donations from BQ Pageant sponsors/each sponsor will receive two free tickets to the ball and there will be a special table set up for them, as well.
Who can we ask for initial donations? IDEAS???
e. Tickets for the ball ($30.00 per person - tentatively). Queens and their escorts get in free, but the ball is also open to the general public after we figure how many will be left (250 total tickets)—black tie and queenly attire required!

f. Raffle to be held at the ball for item which is heretofore unknown. although I am thinking about a painting
g. T-shirts w/ theme picture (tiara and scepter) on front, First O-fficial Berry Queen Ball, September ?, 2008, and It’s Easy Bein’ Queenly in the Berry! on the back (red or white t-shirts). see attached I am thinking of asking Lipiri's if they will handle the t-shirts for us. Some of the t-shirts need to have “Stalk-Em Security” on the back instead of the “queenly” thing on account of the men might like some! We will only do pre-orders this year for the shirts. Forms will be handed out with the tickets to those attending and will be due back to Habitat in sufficient time to prepare the order for the Ball and Parade.
VII. Escorts
Gentlemen escorts will be either provided by the Queens In Waiting on their own, or the pageant committee will provide Stalk Studs (which I will gather or you can help me gather) who will escort the ladies to and from the “run-way” and be available for their opening dance at the ball.
E-mail me at MsJerre@aol.com with ideas for the Stalk Studs.

E-mail me at MsJerre@aol.com with ideas for the Stalk Studs.
VIII. Security
There will be Stalk-Em Security in black t-shirts walking with the float to protect our Queens and as front door security for our ball. These will be nominated and assigned by clubs and organizations around our great city and they will receive their t-shirts from Habitat. They will wear black t-shirts with red lettered “Stalk-Em Security” on them and will carry shortened Sticks of cane for “beating back” all of the throngs of admirers that will obviously be a problem for the queens along the parade route! Maybe they could have Tabasco “pepper spray”around their necks or some other such nonsense.
A liability note: For the ball, I suggest “Breath-Alizers”, a few of Iberia’s finest that check people to see if they need to call a cab or find a ride home. They will also ask about a designated driver so everyone can stay safe and happy in the Berry!
IX. MCs for the pageant are already booked! I will announce these later.
I have arranged for two costume consultants to help all the queen's with their costumes if they need.
X. Candidates for Judges? We need at least 3. E-mail me if you have ideas.
Judging categories: Creativity and Poise in walk (40 points), Musical choice and relation to theme (10 points), Philanthropic involvement (30 points, Essay (40 points), and Judges’ Interview (30 points).
