2007 DIVA

Trisha Hutchinson-

"Miss Crowd Pleaser" won the audiences hearts over

  The 2006/2007 Pageant:

The competition started with

eight girls between the ages of

12 and 17. They were judged by

professionals in the areas of

academics,community

awareness,talent, and fashion

expression. Over 200 members

of the community watched the

girls compete. Various vendors

donated prizes, which went into

gift baskets for every

participant. The pageant was a

success because it was free,

which made entry more

accessible to lower income

families. Moreover, it is one of

the most unique pageants ever..

no swimsuits, no beauty

standards, or previous

experience was needed. All you

had to do was love yourself, and

your community.

 Who will take the

crown, the sash

   and the

 cash this year?
