I participated in two of her pageants, the 1st Annual Miss Northeast Pageant, and her last production of the Miss Petite New Hampshire pageant.
1) She had OUTRAGEOUS prices for a low budget pageant. There were no professional choreographers or hosts, which you'd expect from a $600 fee! Also, the tickets and sold ads were incredibly high. The
2) Lied about pageant DVD's and television appearances. Charlene said the pageant would be airing on a local television station, and did not. I contacted the station and they said they had no record of a Charlene Craig or Northeast Pageants. She also had verbally promised me a free DVD of the second pageant I did with her after I paid $50 for the DVD of the first pageant, which was EXTREMELY late. Like, 6 months late. I received neither.
3) This might seem personal, but she favors two girls, Amber Faucher and Rachel Walsh. These two wonderful girls have been sucked into Charlene's slick talking ways. Its too bad, because both of these women have incredible potential and could be spending their money, time and efforts on better ventures than those with Charlene.
Overall, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. This woman has NO personal pageant experience herself, no business experience nor education in business. She logically should not be running a business, and she is an example on how con artists can succeed when good hearted people want to help start up businesses.
DO NOT get involved with Charlene Craig.
