Born to Sparkle

Lizzie Gunderlach, dressed in her fun wear outfit, described the day best as she danced around the stage singing, “everyone get your sparkle on,” and that is exactly what the 19 beautiful contestants did.

The Cuero Fine Arts center was filled with spectators ready to watch these beautiful young ladies compete in talent, fun wear and formal wear. No doubt that all those in attendance came expecting a great evening and show what they may have not expected was to see the fierce strength, beauty and talent that brought tears to some eyes and left others with a feel-good memory that will last them a lifetime.

The 19 contestants were not only celebrated by a great audience but by a large group of fellow queens from the surrounding areas excited to welcome the new Miss Sparkle Pageant winners to their special family of royalty a bond that is unique and special. Royal Courts from Shiner, Hallettsville, Cuero, Victoria, Golden Crescent, Moulton, Fayette County Yoakum, Goliad and International United Texas Miss Princess of Hallettsville, all lent a hand and support to crown the new queens. Talent was fierce with singers, dancers, cheerleaders, poetry readings and a great sign language presentation.
