HI LADIES...It is getting closer. I have some bad news, and I am having a *cow* in posting this.

My banner vendor apparently was out of town when I sent her the confirmation order and is now &$^@' telling me that she can't get the order together by Saturday delivery. Mind you I placed this the MORNING of the 2nd! And we had discussed and she had agreed she would supply these!!!

I am 100% upset and p'o'd about this but I can't do a thing about it. The banners may not make it in time. I am willing to pay extra for rush, etc, but that is not the problem. The problem is she didn't check her email like a businessperson should and did not give me a heads up so I could switch vendors in time. This constitutes one of our biggest orders of the year, so I am a bit mad to say the least.

This will affect our Supermodel winner, Our two Jr. MIss queens and girls who have not received their local banners yet. It will NOT affect the state crown winners as their banners are supplied by the national office and long since here. Unfortunately when I have people wanting last minute entry and wanting to pay entry fees at the VERY last minute, I have to place last minute orders waiting on those fees to come in and this sort of thing does happen.

To fix it, if we do not get our order here in time, I will personally mail each banner to each of you. The Supermodel and Jr. MIss queens will have makeshift banners (I will use my daughter's old one for crowning the jr. miss overall winner) and I will mail the proper ones out when they arrive.

On the plus side, the Supermodel crown, gift certificates and magazines are all here. Trophies will arrive tomorrow. All gifts for winners and runners up are here. I also have 5 judges coming, which is amazing given 3 of the ones secured last year cancelled with less than 2 weeks out. That on top of learning there isn't a hotel within 5 miles that's not sold out that weekend, so I was fortunate to find qualified judges all within the Virginia borders.

I guess if this is the worst thing that happens ladies, we're doing ok. The show will go on. But I wanted to let you all know about the snafu so there is no hard feelings or surprises when you get here. Everyone will receive what they are supposed to, it just may be a week later. :(

Onward and upward! Just a few days until our new queens are crowned....

[> Subject: good news....my backup vendor will rush the Supermodel and two Jr. Miss crowning banners. They aren't the same exact style, but we'll have them. So they will just get 2 in the end.
