On Tuesday, September
4th, the
37th annual Charlotte Frontier Days Queens Pageant was held at the Charlotte Performing Arts Center. Many family members and friends filled the auditorium to watch and vote for their favorite candidate.
Prior to the pageant, each candidate sat with the judges for the first portion of their competition; the personal interview. The judges were able to get to know the candidates during this section of the competition by asking them questions based off of their personal biographies. Then, the pageant opened with a line dance choreographed by Melissa Foster and sung by Michael Zamora. Following the line dance the candidates were judged on Western Wear, Evening Gown and a Question and Answer session.
Before the announcement of the new queen, Andrea Szymanski was selected for the Community Service Award. Kelly Williams was selected as Miss Photogenic, Community Favorite was awarded to Cathy Randall and the candidates selected Kathi Cornwell as Miss Congeniality.
Finally, the wait was over and the announcement was made. Twenty year old, Andrea Szymanski of Vermontville was crowned as Charlotte’s new Frontier Days Queen. Andrea is the daughter of Greg Szymanski and Sue Darling. She is currently working at Marshall Field’s and enjoys reading, writing, spending time with family and friends and her biggest passion is in the kitchen cooking. Andrea currently attends Lansing Community College with plans to later transfer to Grand Valley State University majoring in business.
The first runner up is the 28-year-old daughter of Cheryl and Bill and the granddaughter of Jim and Carolyn Eaton. Allen is employed with the State of Michigan and working on completing her degree in Business Management. Angela enjoys dancing, swimming, camping and spending time with her family and friends.
The second runner up is the 24-year-old wife of Jason Randall of Charlotte. Randall is employed with the Charlotte Insurance Agency and is working on her certification as an agent in the State of Michigan. Cathy enjoys running, gardening and spending time with her family and friends.
