Meet the Directors
Debbie and Seth Greene would like to thank everyone for such a successful year as directors of the Miss, Teen and Mrs. Lafayette Pageant. Their Queens have been very successful at the state pageants and it all started at the Miss Lafayette Pageant.
Success can be viewed in many ways. The success we have experienced with Miss Lafayette can be summed up with one word, tremendous. The ability to have a vision for such an organization and event is one thing but to bring it to fruition is another. We recognize that this effort and success could not have been achieved nor could it be sustained without the number one ingredient which of course is the contestants. Competition is never easy. And competition of this nature is the height of difficult challenges. So with this in mind, we would like to recognize all contestants and let them know that we sincerely appreciate their efforts.
Let us tell you a little
information about ourselves.
