92nd Annual Southampton 4th of July Parade

   Happy Saturday, everyone! Each year, my hometown hosts one of the biggest 4th of July parades on Long Island. Ever since I was a little girl, my family and I have been involved with the parade in some way. This year, I decided to invite all of the Miss New York and Miss New York's Outstanding Teen contestants to participate in the parade with me. I was thrilled to hear that a Katherine, Miss Queens' Outstanding Teen, Kira, Miss Cosmopolitan, and Delesia Watson, Miss Bronx, were able to participate and celebrate Independence Day Southampton style! Here are a few pictures from the parade!


With Katherine, Miss Queens' Outstanding Teen.


All four of us girls before the parade! I had such a great time getting to know these girls. They are all so sweet!


With Katherine again!


While waiting for the parade to start, I met a few sweet young ladies! I loved their spirit and had to snap a quick picture with them!


After the parade, I invited the girls to the Southampton Fire Department for a post-parade party! We had some fun taking pictures near the trucks, and we were able to climb inside the trucks too!

   I have so many people to thank for making this year's parade so much fun! First, thank you to the Town of Southampton for allowing us to appear in this year's parade! Also thank you to Ms. McQuade for driving Katherine, Kira, and Delesia to Southampton. Thank you to Joanne Pierson (my amazing grandma) and Mrs. Mangano for letting us use your convertibles for the parade. Thank you to my uncle Ray and my mom for driving us in the parade. And of course, thank you to Katherine, Kira, and Delesia for coming out to the parade! You made the parade special for hundreds of people.
   Well, this is probably going to be my last update before I leave for the 2013 Miss New York's Outstanding Teen competition. I can't believe that I will be leaving in only five days! It's crazy! Although I will not be posting about the competition on my blog as it is happening, but make sure you "like" my Facebook page for updates about how pageant weekend is going!

XOXO,
