Girls aged 3-22 compete for titles of New Mexico American Coed State Queen at Albuquerque’s historic Wool Warehouse
Albuquerque, NM -- Girls from around New Mexico compete for their pageant dream in Albuquerque this week; seven from different age groups, 3 to 22 years, will be crowned American Coed Pageant Queens in front of friends and family. Entertainment, excitement, and enthusiasm from contestants at pageant finale night culminates three days of fun and competition in workshops, talent, interviews, introductions, and formalwear.
“We have girls coming from across New Mexico including Holloman AFB, Farmington, Rio Rancho, La Jara, Silver City, Hobbs, Dora, Roswell, Las Cruces, Silver City, Santa Fe, Espanola, Edgewood, and Albuquerque” said Ms. Michele Duran Skroch, Director of the state pageant.
All the girls gain confidence to speak, interview and appear in public through workshops and pageant events. This continues throughout the year as this New Mexico Royalty performs public service activities, meets government officials, and attends national competition in Orlando Florida. This year “family night” extends a short fun pageant to mothers and grandmothers as well as fathers, brothers, grandfathers, and brothers.
“We’re also fortunate to have an outstanding panel of judges including local business persons and New Mexico royalty such as Cortney Whitley, Mrs. New Mexico-America 2007. Jenny Marlowe, Miss New Mexico 2007, will also present one of four workshops to the contestants. Our girls will interact with great role models this week; it’s all part of the pageant experience.”
“We expect an audience of 400 family and friends at Pageant finale on Saturday,” said Ms. Skroch. “It’s not only a fun time for the girls, but a great time for family to get together and have fun while supporting their princess.”
