===Participation in Maine pageant===
Allain admits that her participation in the Maine pageant was a calculated maneuver because she did not want to compete in the Massachusetts pageant.  She cites that if she won, she would have to take off a year from school which she claims was not the case by participating in the Miss Maine competition.<ref name="colby.edu"/>

As Miss Maine, she has visited schools to promote Habitat for Humanity.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080424/GJNEWS03/386828634/-1/SANCOMMUNITY1507 |title=Fosters.com - Dover NH, Rochester NH, Portsmouth NH, Laconia NH, Sanford ME |website=www.fosters.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525204821/http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080424/GJNEWS03/386828634/-1/SANCOMMUNITY1507 |archive-date=2011-05-25}} </ref>
