Miss Summer Blast Queens Crowned


web posted May 8, 2008
SALUDA – The Miss Saluda County Organization crowned the first ever Miss Summer Blast Queens on Sunday, May 4th.  The pageant served as a fundraiser for the Miss Saluda County scholarship fund.  It was also a chance for young girls from across the area to come to Saluda to meet our Miss Saluda County Queens and their princesses.  The pageant consisted of both eveningwear and an onstage interview.  The interview is an essential part of the Miss America system and was placed in the Miss Summer Blast competition to allow the young ladies a chance to gain confidence while speaking in front of a crowd.

It is the Miss Saluda County Organization’s belief that interview is the biggest learning tool of pageants and should be used frequently in competition in order to give contestants life tools.  The organization is extremely proud of all the participants as they all successfully completed all areas of the competition with grace and poise.

The winners were as follows:  Alaina Bledsoe, Baby Miss Summer Blast, Keiondra Alewine, Runner-up for Baby Miss, Maddie Secomski, Toddler Miss Summer Blast, Brayden Meeh, Runner-up for Toddler Miss, Alyson Adkins, Tiny Miss Summer Blast, MaKenzie Lumley, Runner-up for Tiny Miss, Lauren Meeh, Petite Miss Summer Blast, Rhaegan Turner, Runner-up Petite Miss, Arianna Derrick Jones, Junior Miss Summer Blast, Grace Moore, Runner-up Junior Miss, Marley Stokes, Preteen Miss Summer Blast, Greyson Lake, Runner-up Preteen Miss, Andrea Dunton, Teen Miss Summer Blast, Hannah Rogers, Runner-up Teen Miss, Chloe Noteboom, Miss Summer Blast, Mae Ann Webb, Runner-up Miss.  Photogenic winners were Alaina Bledsoe, Maddie Secomski, Alyson Adkins, Lauren Meeh, Grace Moore, Marley Stokes, Andrea Dunton, and Chloe Noteboom.

In conjunction with the pageant the Miss Saluda County Organization also sponsored the Piggy Contest to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network.  The participants were asked to enter a piggy bank decorated in a creative fashion for judging.  Each piggy bank also contained money to be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network on May 9th during the Miss Saluda County Queens trips to the Miss South Carolina May Forum.  The piggy contest winners were “Miss Pig-anomical”, least expensive to make, Rhaegan Turner, “Miss Pig-arageous”, most outrageously dressed, Ashley Storey, and “Miss Penny Pusher”, most money raised, Madison Price.

There was also a drawing for a $100 cash prize.  The winner was Morgan Havird from Ridge Spring. 

The organization would like to thank all the Saluda County residents who have continued to show support of the queens by participating in all events, giving sponsorships in the means of scholarships and ads, and buying raffle tickets.  The queens would also like to thank all businesses who have donated items for use in the upcoming bingo night on May17th, 6:30 at the Palmetto Dance Academy Grand Ballroom.  All your support of these events is working to make this a very successful scholarship program for girls all over our county.
