According to Miss San Pedro Committee Member Daniela Guerrero, the delegates have been working very hard. “From the day they committed themselves to be one of the Miss San Pedro Delegates, they have been to daily evening practices,” said Guerrero.Miss San Pedro Contestants in Chetumal (2)
Guerrero also explained why it is important to have a representative for San Pedro. “We believe that it is important to have a representative for San Pedro, as she is a Youth Ambassador setting an example of good will. As an Ambassador, she is a role model for our youth, to whom she commits herself to inspire teens, directing them to achieve their goals in life,” said Guerrero.
The pageant is scheduled for Saturday, September 3rd at the Honorable Louis Sylvestre Sporting Complex. The SPTC and Miss San Pedro Pageant Committee cordially invite everyone to the pageant for an evening of beauty, elegance and honor. Tickets can be purchased at the SPTC for $5 for children, $15 for general admission, and $25 for reserved seating.
