Emerald is in Palm Springs!

Emerald arrived a day early to Palm Springs and had some time to get settled in her room yesterday before her roommate (Wisconsin) arrived late last night. Today is registration, so she'll be extremely busy trying on her swimsuit, shoes, possibly getting photos done, and also possibly her on-camera interview for the website! She'll need a ton of energy; today is an exhausting day. If I hear from her, I'll be sure to post her thoughts! Please keep Emerald in your prayers as she begins the most exciting 2 weeks of her life!

Cards, letters, flowers, gifts and faxes are a lifeline for any contestant at Nationals. Below is the address to send Emerald a note to encourage her:

Emerald Zellers
Miss Arizona Teen USA
2006 MISS TEEN USA Pageant
c/o Wyndham Palm Springs Hotel
888 East Tahquitz Canyon Way
Palm Springs, CA 92262

Here are some Palm Springs flower shops to consider if you'd like to send her flowers. Please keep in mind that her hotel room is not large, she is sharing with another teenager for 2 weeks, and they each have 2+ weeks of clothing and shoes in the room! Flowers are great, as are cards and small gifts. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated!
