mrs. southern kentucky using craigslist to find sponsors

A contender for the 2008 Mrs. Kentucky beauty pageant is looking for sponsors. I came across this one totally by accident while trolling one of the southern Kentucky craigslist classified listings. I have to say, her many accomplishments are pretty impressive.

Her ad doesn't specify, but I believe sponsors of the 2008 Mrs. Kentucky winner will receive a certain amount of promotion in exchange for their money or donations. It's one of the odder craigslist postings I've come across lately in Kentucky. But more power to her. I hope she finds the sponsorship she needs for the beauty pageant.

If you've ever wanted to sponsor a beauty queen, here's your chance:

Hello, My name is Jillian Thomas. By winning the Mrs. Southern Kentucky preliminary, I have the honor of competing in the 2008 Mrs. Kentucky America pageant that will be held in Louisville in June. I have received paid entry to the state competition, although I am still responsible for many expenses. These include ad sales, ticket sales, travel, wardrobe, etc.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Mrs. Kentucky America pageant, it gives married women all over Kentucky the opportunity to showcase their lives as married women as well as promotes community involvement.

If you require additional information about the Mrs. Kentucky organization, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. You may also visit the official Mrs. Kentucky America website, http://www.mrskentucky.net/.

I thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with your company.

Thank you,

Jillian Rochelle Thomas
