Duhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! It was started to get the word out about these scammers. They want this thing to settle down so they can go money grubbing again next year at almost $1000 a contestant. If they want only Illinois queens or queens from state prelims that their daughters direct, then the Freemans need to hold it in Illinois by SPECIAL invitation only! Ooops - not much money to be had there!!!
