Felicia Darrin, of Clarkston, took first runner-up for 10-12 year olds in the Nationals 2004 Miss Pre-Teen Royal Oak pageant competition on Nov. 7. In order to qualify, Darrin submitted an application and took part in an interview session conducted by Patty Neidert, Royal Oak Pageant Coordinator.
Darrin competed in the pre-teen division where young ladies demonstrated skill in modeling routines which include casual wear and formal wear. In addition, she displayed her personality and interviewing skills during a session with the judging panel. Personality is the number one rated aspect for each candidate.
With a first runner-up win, Darrin received an invitation to attend the National competition held in Florida in December 2005. At this time, she will compete for prizes and scholarships.
Darrin would like to say thank-you to the following sponsors for supporting her in this quest: Dr. Munk’s office, Spotlight Dance Studio, P.C. Net. MD, Countywide Recovery, Darrin Construction and Dr. Conner’s office. A special thank you also goes out to Gayle Conwell for Darrin’s clothing alterations and to Brandon Robertson for being her support.
