Lake County Crowns New Royalty at Annual Pageant
The Miss Lake County pageant has crowned new queens. Take a look at your new leadership and what they have to say:
“As your next Miss Lake County, my goal is to give back to the community and County that has given so much to me. Volunteering with various drives, helping at elementary school and nursing homes, donating items for care centers and so much more. Wherever there is a chance to be a light in the world, I hope to be there. Not only do I see the volunteering side of being Miss Lake County but I also hope to be a role model for those younger than me and to inspire those who are around me.” -Miss Lake County, Kylie Bryan
“Being crowned Miss Lake County Ambassador was a blessing in disguise. The bio I wrote to earn this title discussed my story, my goals, and my why. Having this platform will allow me to connect with the community and youth in ways that not everyone can. This program is what started my love for serving at 10 years old and now being 17 involved with the program, I get to continue what I started. My story doesn’t define me but it has shaped me and I know that by sharing my story, I can help out those who have been through the same things I have. I know the importance of having a role model and mentor and with this title I can continue to make connections and be a light.” –Miss Lake County Ambassador, Mercedes Perry
“I’m looking forward to the golf tournament and the parades but in general i’m excited for everything and am ready to serve.” –Teen Miss Lake County, Rhianon Revello
“I’m a natural public servant and strongly believe in servant leadership. I’ve been serving the community volunteering in various capacities for over 35 years. In addition, I’ve proudly, humbly and fairly served in the Criminal Justice Profession for 24 years in the Lake County Community which I take seriously as I was raised in Lake County and is a resident. By earning the title of Mrs. Lake County it will afford me the opportunity to expand my platform of assisting in developing strong productive thriving families by continuing to be a positive influence and being involved.”-Mrs. Lake County, Shikita Hill
