“Being an Azalea Trail Maid gives us opportunities to travel and have friendships with girls who become like sisters. Without Trail, we wouldn’t know each other.”

“We got to meet Trump and got to meet our mayor. Our mayor is awesome.”

“Little kids get so excited and say look at the princesses. That is the best feeling. If that doesn’t boost your self esteem, I don’t know what does.”

“What about the criticism the Trail Maid program received after the Trump visit?”

“People would have said anything. Trump could have been with a unicorn and they would have said mean things about a unicorn. They don’t understand who the Trail Maids are and the great things we do and represent for Mobile.”

“Some of the comments were funny. Comparing us to Peeps candy was funny.”

“We had to stop reading the comments at one point. We know who we are and are proud of being Trail Maids.”
