2012 Reigning Representatives

Meet our 2012 Crowned Representatives

    Tiny Miss Dacula - Ansleigh Allen

Ansleigh Grace is 5 years old and is in kindergarten at Dacula Elementary. She is the daughter of Tiffany Allen, Dacula, and Jeff Allen, Pensacola, FL, and little sister to Taylor. Ansleigh is new to the Miss Dacula Family as a crowned representative but not new to being a Miss Dacula sister. Ansleigh has had the privilege of knowing and experiencing a little bit of what being a Miss Dacula is all about. She follows in the footsteps of her big sister, Taylor (2008 Tiny Miss Dacula, 2010 Petite Miss Dacula). During this exciting year, Ansleigh hopes to make as many memories as she can and leave a legacy for everyone to remember. She loves being there to help build floats, paint faces, hand out water at races, and do whatever she can that is her “size.” Ansleigh loves pageantry, cheerleading, playing and anything to do with horses. She is a member of the Tiny Hebron Hornets IMPACT Competition Cheerleading Squad where the team won the FCC (Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders) Georgia State Cheerleading Competition for her division and went on to Orlando to bring home the FCC National IMPACT Cheerleading Competition trophy for Kindergarten and Under. She was born to cheer and sometimes seems to have glitter in her veins. She was recently awarded the MVC (Most Valuable Cheerleader). Ansleigh enjoys anything that puts her on a stage to shine and to show everyone what she is made of. She has competed in pageants since she was a year old and held many titles but none of which she has ever wanted to be as much as being a “Miss Dacula.” It’s what her sister was, it’s what Ansleigh saw, and it’s what Ansleigh went on stage and did her very best to become. After she won she immediately told her mom, “Now I get my Legacy Video!!” Ansleigh wants to leave a legacy like no other as the 2012 Tiny Miss Dacula.  Her favorite verse is Philippians 3:14: I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
