Local pageant crowns youth queens at Lowell Puerto Rican festival
Summary
At the Lowell Puerto Rican festival, board member Taty Santiago presented young queens representing Puerto Rico and various hometowns; presenters thanked pageant staff and families for preparation and support.
Taty Santiago, introduced in the program as a member of the festival board, presented the festival's youth and teen queens, thanking the pageant director Evelyn Rodriguez and dance assistant Betsy Cruz for their work preparing contestants. "These young ladies represent much more than a crown and a sash," Santiago said, urging the girls to stay proud of their heritage.
The presentations named several winners and acknowledged family supporters: a 7-year-old Amara (identified in the transcript as Amara Benjamin/Vigiamin Rosario) was presented as representing Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, and was crowned by her grandmother Janice Rosario. Camila Vasquez was presented as a queen representing Puerto Rico and was crowned by her grandmother Maritza. The program also acknowledged Angelina Gonzales as a guest of honor representing Salvadoran heritage.
