Two from here seek Ms. ABAC Title

Allie Lewis

Chloe Boatright

Two students from Hazlehurst are among the 24 contestants who will compete in Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s 56th annual Ms. ABAC Pageant Feb. 26.
Allie Lewis, sponsored by ABAC Cross Country, and Chloe Boatright, sponsored by E&E Farms, will compete for the title.
The event, sponsored by the ABAC Agripreneurs, will begin at 7 p.m. in Howard Auditorium on the ABAC campus. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m., and admission is $10.
The Ms. ABAC Pageant is an impactful event for both participants and organizers. “Each contestant competes for the crown that will allow them to represent ABAC, but deeper than that, they gain lifelong friendships and confidence through the process. The Agripreneurs Club members that help organize the event gain real-world event planning, problem-solving and budgeting skills that will follow them throughout their career,” said Jennifer Culpepper, lecturer of Agribusiness and Agripreneurs Club advisor.
Those attending the pageant will see contestants compete in both casual and evening wear. Participants are evaluated based on a written essay and a judges’ interview. The top 10 contestants will respond to an on-stage question.
