Princess '4' a Day More Than Tiaras

Nearly 100 local girls will be receiving the royal treatment Sunday, as Senior and reigning Miss Teen Georgia Motor Speedway Sam Plott, plans to primp, pamper and glam up the speedway's children's charity Princess “4” a Day.

“This one is going to be different than when we host them on the track because we'll have more time,” said 17-year-old Plott. “Normally, we just do hair and nails at the track, but this event is going to encompass way more. I think you make a bigger impact when you spend more than 10 minutes with someone.”

Starting at 2 p.m. at the , girls of all ages are invited to join in the fun by getting their hair and makeup done by local makeup artists and hairstylists, and then set out for a glamorized photo shoot with Cline Photography.

"Why not treat your mom or somebody you love," said Plott. 

Participants will also be given a crown and a gift bag with goodies from local sponsors, said Plott.

After the photo shoot, the girls will then get to try their run on the catwalk with a full-on fashion show.

“I've been telling the girls to just wear your favorite outfit, whatever makes you feel the best,” said Plott. “You know, some little girls put on this crazy outfit, and are like, 'Okay, mom, I'm ready for school,' and the moms are like, 'You can't wear that to school.' I've been telling all the moms, 'Just let them wear that outfit.'”

Participants will then get the chance to mingle and feast on cupcakes and snacks at a tea party following the runway. Plott will serve as the motivational speaker.

“We're going to be talking about healthy lifelong friendships and relationships, and what it means to be an individual,” said Plott. “To know that you are beautiful inside and out, no matter what.”

Participants are expected to make a $25 donation, and for spectators, a $5 donation. Plott said officials will hold at-site registration for an hour starting at 1:30 p.m.

Plott added that everything, from time for hair and makeup, to even the cupcakes and music has been donated by the community.

The fundraiser, , which was started at the motor speedway races, was created to build self esteem in girls while also helping children in need.

“We help raise money for children in need all around, and we try to help them pay for medical bills, school supplies, dental, pretty much whatever they need, we try to provide them with money for,” said Plott. “When we're not at the track, we have hometown events. We can't always go to a race, we got to continuously be raising money for these kids who need us.”

Plott said she got involved with Miss Motor Speedway is because she felt like it was more than just a pageant.

“They are more than just wearing your crown and sash and making appearances and that's all you do,” she added. “[Miss Motor Speedway] is really involved and they want you to help out in the community. They really want you to help make a difference.”
