2009 National American Miss Kentucky Jr. Teen Queen Megan Webb Farewell

Dear Contestants,

Its hard to believe that my year as your National American Miss Kentucky Jr. Teen 2009 is over. Being the regining queen for the state this year has opened so many doors for me. I enjoyed volunteering, being visiting royalty and going to nationals. I made so many friends this year and made memories I’ll never forget. I would like you to know that I’ve stood in your shoes four times before, I know what its like to be here for the first time and being here for your fourth, the excitement and the dream never goes away. Being crowned was a dream come true. If I can give you any advice, all I can say is have fun! This experience will change your life, for the better. I hope this weekend turns out to be the way you always dreamed and I hope you and your family take this weekend and grow together. Always remember, if it is YOUR dream it is always worth TRYING to achieve! Have a great weekend, and feel free to ask me anything! See you soon!
Love,
Megan Alisa Webb

2009 National American Miss Kentucky Teen Queen Hensley Rector Farewell

                It’s hard to believe my journey as your reigning National American Miss Kentucky Teen has come to an end.  It has been an amazing year, filled with memories that I will treasure for a lifetime.  I am honored to have worked with and been a part of the March of Dimes Organization, Cell Phones for Soldiers Foundation, and Samaritans Purse-Operation Christmas Child.

                My most treasured memory of my reign was attending nationals.  The entire week was a blast.  I had an amazing time at Disneyland, where I got to meet and bond friendships with other queens from across the United States.  I toured the streets of Hollywood and Rodeo Drive and participated in many activities while representing the great state of Kentucky.

                Thanks to the entire NAM staff for all your support this year.  Special thanks go to Matt, for his dedication and hard work as a state director.  To my sister queens-a year ago we received our crowns and became royalty of Kentucky.  Memories will fade, but friendships last forever.  To Megan, Kyle & Logan, you’re the greatest!

                I would like to congratulate each state finalist on your achievements thus far and encourage each of you to dream big and work hard to reach your goals. Dreams that you follow will keep coming true.

                Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for your love and support.  Your leadership and guidance has helped me become the person I am today. I am a girl with dreams. I am Hensley Rector.

Mallory Ervin former National American Miss Kentucky Queen takes home 4th runner-Up at Miss America that was televised live from the Planet Hollywood Hotel in Las Vegas.

Her night started off right when she was announced as one of the “viewers choices” for the Top 15.  From there she rock the stage in swimsuit.  She then appeared in her stunning red strapless evening gown. 

After a nail biting wait her name was finally called to make it to the next round of competition to perform her talent “On My Own” from the Broadway play Les Miserables.  This is also the stellar voice that took home that National American Miss national talent title at the 2005 national pageant.  Showing her grace, poise and composure she then was called out for the on stage question.

With that it was off to the naming of the top 5.  With hearts pounding Mallory was called as 4th runner-up!

We are all so proud of Mallory!
