Judi and I have been to mandatory workshops that are required for the Directors and Judges chairs to attend. We have been in the Mayors office a few times going over costs and talking about fund-raising and how to help with the cost because we will not have the budget we have had the year before. Many emails and phone calls with the Mayors office about the pageant and other items and events that were being planned for Miss Provo for the year. Provo City just bought a email address for us to get a website up and running. This would make it easier for the girls to find the application to tryout for Miss Provo. We had 3 meetings planned, all which were within days of happening and then a call that changed it all.
That was it, it was over, boom, canceled. I asked the Mayors office if Miss Provo was a City thing or if we could find sponsors and still have the pageant. I was told it was not a City thing and we could still have the Pageant, but the City would not support us in anyway. I wanted to make sure and asked twice. I asked them not to put it was canceled on the Website because I wanted to talk to Judi to see if we thought we could pull it off with such short notice. The Mayors office told me Judi was going out of town and said they would not post anything until they heard back from us. The Mayors office did send me an email stating the pageant had been canceled just incase we could not get sponsors to fund it. I was reassured nothing would be posted until we got back to them the beginning of the following week. (5 days which included a weekend)
I received an email from one of the girls stating she was sending me her application but wanted to know what was going on because the Provo City site stated it had been canceled. I was shocked, I thought the city was not going to post anything. Now with the city's website stating it was canceled how were we going to raise money for it?
