For the participants in the Miss Seal Beach Pageant, held on Sunday in the Performing Arts Center on the campus of Los Alamitos High School it was a night to remember.
There was excitement in the air throughout the evening as the contestants went through their paces, competing in various aspects of the pageant, delighting friends and family members who came out to lend their support.
The girls in the pageant were all excited about their night in the spotlight as their family members and friends watched the pageant unfold from their seats in the auditorium.
It was an evening for fun and friendly competition to see who had the most talent, charm and poise to represent the seaside city at functions all around the city over the next year. While the judges said the choice was a difficult one, the line needed to be drawn in the sand and a new Miss Seal Beach chosen to carry on the tradition. The judges eventually signaled to Rosie Ritchie, the event’s coordinator and the pageant director, that their work was done. The excitement reached its peak as Jessica Jenkins was crowned by last year’s Miss Seal Beach, Joy Knepper, as Miss Seal Beach 2013.
Other members of the Miss Seal Beach Court chosen that evening include Clare Draskovich, first Runner-up, Kendra Knight, second Runner-up, Hannah Corbin, third Runner-up. Savannah Finch was chosen Miss Teen Seal Beach 2013, and Chelsea Linton is Little Miss Seal Beach 2013.
