Hundreds of Our Little Miss Pageant contestants and their families had their sparkle temporarily dimmed this week after an overbooking mix-up at the Renaissance Hotel Montgomery left them without rooms.

Daylene Collette, a mother of a pageant participant, said that while she was able to finally get a room at the venue, plenty of other contestants were still displaced at short notice.
