Congratulations, Mrs. Utah America 2006, 2nd Runner- Up Mrs. America!!

Drennan, I could not be more proud of your grace and elegance! You are a shining example to married women, not only in Utah, but throughout America! I look forward to an exciting year as we, together, promote marriage and family values through the Mrs. Utah America program.

I encourage everyone to watch the Mrs. America Special on the WE network on September 23. Check you local listing for the exact times! I know many of you want to hear about Drennan's experiences directly and when she catches up on "real-life" after being gone for two weeks, she will continue to post! in the mean time, enjoy the photos!

Who won, you may ask....Drennan's roommate and pageant sister, Diane Tucker, Mrs. Arizona.

More soon,
Diane Ritter
Director, Mrs. Utah America

Hello Everyone!
Time has been flying here! this is Diane Ritter, the director of the Mrs. Utah America pageant! Sorry we haven't posted in a few days,things get busy and hecctic. Let me tell you that Drennan is doing great! Her are a ew details....

I arrived here on Firday afternoon. The ladies were in rehearsal and treated to a wonderful dinner in the hotel's presidential suite with Mrs. America founder, David Marmel. After that back to rehearsal.....the life of a tv star!

Saturday was the offiial interview competition with the panel of celebrity judges. Drennan was able to rest most of the day as her interview was at 4 PM. She felt she really hit it off with the judges and was feeling great! Later that evening the ladies were treated to dinner and dancing. Drennan called it an early night......

Sunday, preliminary competition for swimsuit and evening gown! Drennan looked beautiful and did a great job! Her family arrived and we all cheered her one! The costume competiton also took place and we were thrilled when Drennan was called into the top ten in the csotume competiton! Her mom and her husband actually designed andproduced the costume! What an honor!

Monday and Tuesday have been a whirlwind of non-stop rehearsals! Tonight is the big night!
No matter the outcome, we are all proud of Drennan and her accomplishments as Mrs. Utah! I will write as soon as it is over!
