💜 Missing My EPIC Girls! 💜⁠
⁠
Some pictures just make you smile—and then make you realize how much you miss everyone in them.⁠
⁠
I’m missing my EPIC girls today. The crowns and sashes may be what brought us together, but it’s the laughter, hugs, inside jokes, adventures, cheering each other on, and friendships that make this sisterhood so special.⁠
⁠
EPIC was never meant to be just another pageant. It was created to be a place where women and girls could belong, grow, serve, lead, and make memories together. Looking at this photo reminds me that we really have created something special. 💜👑⁠
⁠
To every EPIC queen, delegate, ambassador, mom, sister, and friend who has become part of this family—I miss your faces!⁠
⁠
Who else is ready for the first EPIC reunion? 🙋‍♀️💜⁠

I don’t always catch every notification so when I woke up this morning to find we had FIVE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews on the Facebook Page, it just warmed my heart. 
You want the inside scoop on EPIC? National Queen, @wendy_darling13 is offering to chat privately about her experience (that way, the director can’t see). Get the real unvarnished truth from her. She will tell you everything you need to know.

We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.⁠
⁠
Today, the EPIC Pageants family joins our nation in remembering September 11, 2001.⁠
⁠
We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the first responders, service members, and everyday Americans who showed extraordinary courage during one of our nation’s darkest days.⁠
⁠
We also remember what came afterward—neighbors helping neighbors, communities coming together, and a nation united through compassion, strength, and hope.⁠
⁠
Twenty-five years later, their memory reminds us that service matters. Kindness matters. How we lead and how we care for one another matters.⁠
⁠
Today, we set aside crowns, titles, and competition and simply stand together as Americans.⁠
⁠
May we remember those we lost.⁠
May we honor those who served.⁠
May we carry forward the spirit of unity that brought our nation together.⁠
⁠
September 11, 2001 — Never Forgotten. 🇺🇸⁠
⁠
With remembrance,⁠
The EPIC Pageants Family⁠

✨👑 HERE WE GROW! EPIC IS EXPANDING IN THE NORTHEAST! 👑✨⁠
⁠
Three states. One EPIC experience. And an incredible leader ready to help us grow!⁠
⁠
We are proud to introduce Kimberly Grader as the EPIC Tri-State Regional Director, serving Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey!⁠
⁠
Kimberly’s EPIC story began in 2026 when she stepped onto our stage as Ms. New York Emissary. After capturing the 2026 National Title, she knew she had found something special—a pageant home built around the values she believed in and a sisterhood she wanted to help grow.⁠
⁠
Now, Kimberly is taking the next step in her EPIC journey—from National Queen to Regional Director! 👑⁠
⁠
In her new role, Kimberly is excited to open doors for girls and women throughout the Northeast, creating more opportunities to compete, serve, lead, build confidence, and discover what it means to be part of the EPIC sisterhood.⁠
⁠
With Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey coming together as the EPIC Tri-State Region, this is more than expansion—it’s another exciting chapter in the future of EPIC!⁠
⁠
💜 New states. New opportunities. New friendships. New queens.⁠
⁠
The road to EPIC is getting bigger, and we cannot wait to see where Kimberly leads it next!⁠
⁠
Please help us welcome Kimberly Grader, EPIC Tri-State Regional Director!⁠

Long before we knew how much this trip would come to mean, EPIC had already been planning something special—a Sisterhood Reunion Trip to Dollywood. 💜⁠
⁠
It was meant to be a chance to reconnect. To laugh together. To make memories outside of competition. To bring together the queens and delegates who have helped build EPIC from our very first year to today.⁠
⁠
Now, this trip feels more important than ever.⁠
⁠
Dolly's recent loss has reminded us that the greatest gift EPIC has given us isn’t a crown, a sash, a title, or a moment on stage. It’s each other.⁠
⁠
Life moves quickly. Reigns end. Girls grow up. Families move in different directions. We always think there will be another event, another year, another opportunity to get everyone together.⁠
⁠
So this time, we’re making the time.⁠
⁠
🎢 The EPIC Reunion Queens’ Trip to Dollywood is happening! 👑⁠
⁠
Every EPIC Queen.⁠
Every EPIC Delegate.⁠
2023–Present.⁠
⁠
Whether you competed with us once, have been here since the beginning, currently hold a title, or are joining us for the 2027 season—you are part of this EPIC sisterhood, and you are invited.⁠
⁠
This trip isn’t about competition. There are no scores and no judges. It’s about reuniting, laughing until our sides hurt, taking way too many pictures, riding rides, sharing meals, making new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and creating the memories we sometimes assume we’ll have time to make later.⁠
⁠
Because sisterhood should extend far beyond pageant weekend. 💜⁠
⁠
REGISTER NOW and join your EPIC sisters at Dollywood!⁠
⁠
👑 Every Queen. Every Delegate. 2023–Present.⁠
🎢 One unforgettable reunion.⁠
💜 One EPIC family.⁠
⁠
Because once EPIC, always EPIC.⁠
