Stage Lighting And Effects Equipment

Hey! I am a 14 year old beauty pageant kid (yes...i know how lame it sounds) and I need to raise some money for some various pageants I may be partisipating in. Anyone have any good ideas? Right now I am working on selling lollipops for 1.25 each or 5.00 for 5. I know it sounds super expensive but they are gourmet (that makes them sound fancy lol). And I am also planning on selling glowsticks on fourth of July like in a feild or something. Dose anyone have any tips or suggestions? I think I am going to wear my state crown when I raise for a national competition because it makes me look offical. Any tips?

Thanks <3

P.S I am pretty down to earth and approchable (dont think "Toddlers and Tiaras") and I have no issues talking to adults. Will this help? And should my mom be with me?
