Hi! Robert Green, the organizer of the event and Dail Chambers has reached out to the American both because Cheryl was not the mistress of ceremony and there was no mention that Robert Green organized this event. The mistress of ceremony was Dail Chambers. After phone calls and emails, three weeks later we have yet to hear a response. We have contacted the photographer and web design editor. We love the American and would love the misinformation to be updated.
