Waterfalls Magazine – The Miss Crane 2023 Pageant came to end on coronation night on December 30, 2023, when a young mother of one, Tonia Harris was crowned queen. The pageant saw six delegates vying for the title as well as the other prizes. On coronation night, the delegates took part in four segments to accumulate the most points. The introduction, swimwear, talent, and evening gown/question segments, which were each worth 25 points and the top delegates were selected based on their answer to the question.
Tonia Harris was named queen, Anasa Williams copped the 1st runner-up, Phylicia Adams the 2nd runner-up and Ashley Somerset copped the 4th runner-up position. The contestants were adjudged for their participation in three segments of the pageant, the swimsuit, evening gown and ‘question and answer’.
The pageant was aimed at young girls within the Crane area on the West Coast of Demerara as an opportunity to showcase their beauty and intelligence and to serve as a forum to build self-esteem and empower them. Promoter Sean Swan, popularly known as “Fresh” decided that for the 5th edition of the pageant, he wanted to have delegates with pageantry and modeling experience due to a tight timeframe for training and other activities.
Amongst some of the events that led up to the pageant were several ‘meet and greets’, a cocktail night reception, and photo shoots.
