After the judges were announced it was back to the pageant. The swimsuit competition was first as the delegates wore one or two-piece suits of there own choosing. Then it was everybody’s favorite the evening gown competition. First the teen delegates and then the miss delegates all had the chance to show off their personal fashion sense. Then the finalists returned onstage for one last chance to make an impression on the judges with the interview questions.
