From Mr. Kansas:
Trying to make ends meet as a bartender can be a tough challenge. But it seemed the perfect solution for Jill while she was going to college. Who would have thought that those skills would come in handy years later as she competes for the title of Mrs America???
The pageant this year includes 4 different auxilary competitions: Horseback Riding, Diaper Changing, Golfing and Best Margarita. If I understand it correctly, each contestant was given the opportunity to pick the one competition for which they felt they were best qualified.
In addition to the obvious team-building benefits of these competitions, the Mrs America organization announced they would have a top 12 this year rather than a top 10. The additional 2 contestants would come from the pool of ladies who won their individual competition.
I told you all of that.....to tell you this: Mrs. Kansas, Jill Putzier, WON THE MARGARITA CONTEST! It seems the other ladies were unable to match her "Ruby Slippers with Prickly Pear Tornado Twist" Margarita! While there is no guarantee, the win does give her an advantage in qualifying for the top 12!!!
Although I hated being apart during our wedding anniversary, it seemed fitting that she won the competition. As most of you know, Jill and I first met when she applied for a job as a bartender in an establishment owned by two good friends of mine. I worked there at the time and, as the saying goes, the rest is history!!!
