Wow, what a day! The parade was awesome and the autograph session was a blast. Lots of people old and young. The parade route was lined with people and the autograph session lasted over an hour. There is an electricity in the air here in Oshkosh and the girls are treated like royalty. Everyone has been so nice and we are enjoying getting to know the girls and their parents. The experience has been more wonderful than we could ever imagine. The girls attended a champagne reception tonight (sparkling water for those under 21-that made Sara happy considering her platform of underage drinking). We were able to spend some time with Sara during the autograph session and she is doing well. She is tired but the adrenalin is flowing and keeping her going. Stage competition starts tomorrow night and we are looking forward to seeing her on the stage.

Be sure to check out the new album on webshots - pictures from the parade and autograph session.

Until tomorrow,
Mark and Sue
