Neither Rain Nor Heat Nor Gloom Will Stop Today’s Miss Flagler County Pageant
It’s pageant time again.
Other 2011 Flagler County winners who’ll be passing on their crowns: Rayliana Giaccone is the 5-7 age category, Destiny Cole in the 8-11, and Shanna Mae Merceron in the 12-15.
The rain is no surprise. This year’s photo shoots in Flagler Beach were a drench of wind and skies more worthy of Hamburg than Florida. It took all we had to manipulate light in the pictures to something worthy of the contestants.
All the contestants in their respective divisions are introduced in the clickable chart below, which will take you to their individual pages and portraits, with thanks to Cheryl Tristam, who edited the photos and prepared pages and the galleries. Links to previous years’ pageants are also provided.
As always, the pageant is sponsored by Z-Wave Surf Shop in Flagler Beach.
Here’s Sunday’s lineup:
Little Miss Flagler County (ages 5-7 and ages 8-11), 3 p.m.
Miss Junior Flagler County (ages 12-15), 5 p.m.
Miss Flagler County (ages 16-22), 7 p.m.
Keep in mind, Miss Flagler County Pageant requires separate ticket from earlier pageants. Tickets are $5, and $3 for children 10 and under.

Funny moment during the 5 to 7 year old pageant: when one of the contestants was asked why she wanted to be Little Ms. Flagler County, she pulled no punches. “I want the crown!” she declared.
