The annual Miss GWU pageant was postponed on Saturday, Jan. 23 due to a winter storm. The new date will be April 17 at the Dover Theater.<\/p>\n
The three-month delay was due to the availability of the Dover Theater, according to Karissa Weir, director of student activities. \u201cAs for the judges, the group we had for [the original date] may change due to their schedule in April,\u201d said Weir.<\/p>\n
Some of the contestants had family visiting from out of town. Jen Guberman, Miss GWU contestant, said, \u201cMy grandmother was flying down on Sunday, so she didn\u2019t get to see [the pageant].\u201d However, Guberman still performed her special talent for her grandmother. \u201cMy talent is speed painting. I will be painting a beach painting in three minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although her grandmother was unable to see the entire show, Guberman felt a little relived that the pageant was postponed. \u201cI\u2019m not a dancer, so the whole opening dance was a little intimidated for me,\u201d said Guberman.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you postpone an event, there is always concerns about the dates being changed due to the fact you might have other things on your schedule.\u00a0The weather is something out of my control and\u00a0the decision for the change was continually communicated throughout the weekend to all involved,\u201d said Weir.<\/p>\n
