Miss Silvia Navarro

In a joint effort by several countries around the world in trying to preserve and educate the world concerning the vital role of the rainforest, a new concept of awareness was chosen. Attention was brought to the rainforest last year by staging the first ever Miss Rainforest International Pageant. The first time event had the participation of six contestants from a variety of countries with Miss Dominican Republic's Silvia Navarro walking away with the crown.

    Pageant organizer Miss Nefretery Nancy Juan from San Ignacio is proud to announce that the Miss Rainforest Pageant 2000 is well underway and once again promises to be a night to remember. The event will take place on March 3rd, 2000, at the Novelo's Convention Center in Santa Elena, Cayo. The pageant is expected to commence at 7:00 p.m. and will feature the contestants in their Cultural/Fantasy wear, swimsuit and evening wear. To add a dash of cultural spice to the evening, Belizean artist Andy Palacio has been confirmed to perform as well as other local music and dance groups.

    Already confirmed are participants from Aruba, Belize, Bolivia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, England, Guatemala, Honduras, Malta, Nicaragua, Paraguay and USA. The contestants will be arriving in Belize on February 24th, 2000 and will travel immediately to San Pedro Town where they will be hosted until the 26th. They then visit Five Sisters Lodge in the Mountain Pine Ridge Area in the Cayo District.

    This year Belize will be gracefully represented by the current Miss Queen of the Bay/Miss Rainforest Belize 2000, Samantha Carlos. The San Pedro Sun will keep you informed of further details of the Rainforest Pageant.
