Miss West Coast USA & Teen USA

Super Pageant 2007

 

March 4, 2006

 

The Road to Hollywood made its third and final stop Saturday in Bradenton for the eight-titled Miss West Coast USA & Teen USA Super Pageant. The evening saw the thirty-five delegates competing for the third annual Miss Manatee County USA and Miss Sarasota USA titles were complimented by the second Miss West Coast USA title and first ever (and possibly changing) Miss St. Armand’s Circle USA title along with the matching teen winners!

Manatee Bayshore Auditorium was the venue and a large and vocal audience greeted Miss Florida USA 2006 Cristin Duren who was the evening’s hostess along with some assistance from M Productions and Pageant Director Marianne Oden who greeted the delegates for opening introductions and the competition was on! The Teen USA delegates introduced themselves in blue jeans with white tops while the USA delegates complimented their blue jeans with black tops. 

 

First came the swimsuit competition onstage as the delegates competed in one or two piece suits of their own choosing. Then the competition concluded with Evening Gown’s as it was the delegate’s fashion style on display. Earlier the interview competition saw each delegate compete in a panel style session.

During the evening entertainment was provided by The Bayshore High Honey Bear Dance Team. Miss Florida America Teen Sierra Minnott performed a beautiful dance number and Katy Carson finished the evening with a rousing rendition of “Black Velvet” while the judges finished their tabulations.
