All proceeds will benefit children in our area who may need assistance with glasses,” the Century Lions Club said.

    Let these little girls be little girls. You are encouraging potetnial body image issues. How do you expalin to a little girl that she wasn;t “pretty enough” to get a crown? It has been PROVEN to adversely effect thier self image to participate in this crap that should be only for older kids. I am a child mental health therpaist and I have treated “Little Miss” participants. I feel this type of “beauty” contest is NOT for ANY good cause and is actually UNHEALTHY for these little kids. Let them decide when they are older if they would like to tp participate–pre-teen and up if you would like. If they are younger than that, these little girls are living MOMMIE’S unfulfilled fantasies of crowns, etc. STOP THE CRAZINESS.

    @ mary

    you say that but have you ever been in a “beauty contest”? i was a contestant in the miss sawmill pageant when i was 6 and i loved it i wish that i had done it more than the one year. the sawmill pageant is nothing like those ones you see in the toddlers and tiaras, its all for fun and a very good cause.
