A cheerleading competition has much to offer. There are, of course, the performances of the cheerleaders (most important!) but then there are the vendors and special guests, too. Here are three images from the Rhode Island Convention Center from the weekend of January 30 – 31st.
The first photo is Norma Pimenta, author of the book – Smiling Eyes – A Cheerleading Coach’s Personal Victory. Norma’s book tells the tale of her recovery from a tragic accident and how being a cheer coach helped inspire her to move forward with grace and courage. You can get Norma’s book from Amazon or from her site

That handsome fellow below is James Kersey, Cheerleading Brand Manager for Nfinity shoes, showing off their newest cheerleading shoe, the Phoenix!

The T-shirt below was on display at a vendor’s booth. As I was taking the picture, two cheerleaders walked past, noticed the shirt and said they had to get one for their mothers. Yes, cheerleading can be expensive but loving parents are willing to make the invesment!
