Good Morning, Members!
We have officially entered our busy season here at the Chamber of Commerce! This past weekend, the Miss Seminole County pageant was revived under the direction of new pageant director Abigail Grantham and the Miss Seminole County Board. With an attendance of over 200, 30 contestants competed and your new Miss Seminole County is Emma Godby. The newly crowned queens are encouraged to participate in many local events throughout the year, so you will see them around! More details on the pageant can be found on page 3 of this newsletter.
