Queen of Bacchanal Contestants announced

The second annual Queen of Bacchanal Pageant is fast approaching, and six lovely ladies from across the country will be vying for the grand title on Saturday, September 10th at the Honorable Louis Sylvester Sporting Complex. The theme for this year will be "Breaking Down All Barriers: One People, One Nation." Held as a fundraiser for Mystic Mas Band, the pageant already has following.

Hoping to win the pageant are contestants Vanessa Williams, Princess Acosta, Cristal Ruth McCullough, Felicia Gladden, Kristen Igner Fuentes and Shayna Ariola. The pageant will focus on excitement and energy with a centralized Caribbean Carnival theme, and contestants will be judged on swimsuit, talent, and carnival presentation.

Aguilar describes the Mystic Mas Band. "We formed the carnival group last year in an effort to help grow the September 21st parade on Ambergris Caye. Our mission is for the island to be a top destination for Carnival both locally and internationally. This year we are aiming for a much bigger group and our theme is 'Under the Sea'," said Aguilar. "For this year's pageant we are expecting more competition and entertainment. We definitely expect the energy to be high."

Gates will be open at 8pm and the show will start at 9pm. Tickets for the show can be purchased at Foreva Fancy Boutique, and are priced at $5 for children, $10 adults and $25 reserved.
