Local Cypress couple, Joe and Heather Terpstra will host the first ever Miss Cypress Scholarship pageant on October 17, 2010. The pageant will be a preliminary to the Miss America pageant and will be held at the Crowne Plaza-Brookhollow, 12801 Northwest Freeway in Houston.
Joe and Heather got their start in pageantry when they entered their, then 3 year old, daughter Patricia into her first pageant. Patricia was crowned the winner and has continued to enter more pageants since the big win. They have since enrolled their daughter in the Little Princess Program where young girls have the opportunity to be mentored by seasoned local title holders. It was while participating in this program the Terpstras were introduced to the Miss Texas Scholarship Pageant, which chooses a Texas State Representative for the Miss America pageant. From all of these experiences the Terpstras came up with the idea to creating their own pageant!
The Miss Cypress Scholarship Pageant will have a Teen winner as well as a Miss winner. The teen winner could qualify for the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen pageant and the Miss winner could actually qualify for the Miss American Pageant. So if you have a little princess at your house, you might consider the Miss Cypress Scholarship Pageant!
