Stacey Propst   A little about me, I am a Buyer for Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company in Hickory. I am married to the Rev. Mark Propst and we have three children, Jake, Ben & Sarah.    Trained in vocal performance I have been featured as a Soprano for various groups and currently direct and teach the New Jerusalem Baptist Church Youth and Children’s Choir. I my younger years, I had 15 years dance experience in Tap, Ballet, Jazz and Modern in performance and competition.   My daughter, Sarah, loves pageantry as she holds and has held preliminary, state and international titles. I love all aspects of pageantry from judging and auditing, to the challenge of preparing for them.

	Natalie Rees   I reside in Claremont, NC with my husband Jeremy and daughter Emily. I am an administrative assistant at Peoples Bank Corporate Center in Newton, NC. I enjoy scrap booking, cooking and most of all being a Mommy. As a child, I was involved in dance, pageants and gymnastics. I have been re-introduced to the world of pageantry over the last year when my daughter started competing at the age of 9 months. Emily held 7 preliminary titles before her first birthday and won two state titles at 14 months old. Emily is the reigning 2004 Overall Mini Supreme Princess of NC, the Youngest Mini Supreme to ever be crowned. I have competed as a Mrs. and have loved it; I am the 2004 Mrs. Princess of Hickory.
