Mrs. Henderson Co. search announced

Applications are now being accepted for the title of 2008 "Mrs. Henderson County"! Mrs. Henderson County will have the honor of representing her county at the 2008 Mrs. Texas Pageant to be held at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in San Antonio, Texas, April 11-13, 2008.

The woman chosen as "Mrs. Henderson County" will become an ambassador from the Henderson County area and receive an official title and sash!

The woman chosen as Mrs. Texas will receive a prize package valued at over $11,000 and the opportunity to represent Texas at the "2008" Mrs. International Pageant. The American Heart Association and The United Way are the official charities of the Mrs. Texas International Pageant.

The current reigning "2007" Mrs. Texas is Tanya Pulley of Archer City, Texas. As Mrs. Texas, Tanya speaks on her platform "Type 2 Diabetes in Children." As a pharmaceutical rep., Tanya witnesses the detrimental effects of this epidemic every day. Twenty years ago, it was unheard of for a child to develop Type 2 Diabetes. However, due to sedentary lifestyles, lack of physical activity and poor eating habits, now more than 150,000 youth in our country already have some form of diabetes with 13,000 more being diagnosed each year. Her goal as Mrs. Texas is to raise awareness of this cause and to educate as many people as she can about the simple lifestyle modifications that can prevent or reverse the onset of insulin resistance. Tanya has partnered with the American Diabetes Association to promote the cause. She has also been named an Ambassador for Diabetes by the Texas Diabetes Counsel.

"Mrs." contestants will compete in Personal Interview, Fitness Wear, and Evening Gown. (There is no talent or swimsuit competition!!)
