Miss Bogota 2015

8-March-2015

  On Saturday 7- March the Final event was held in the Miss Bogota 2015 Pageant. This was the Coronation of the new Queens in the three categories of the pageant. Held in the Auditorium of the Bogota High School it was attended by the Family and Friends of the 14 Candidates competing this year.  Also in the Audience was Bogota Mayor Chris Keleman, and Council Members Lisa Kohles, Daneile Fede,  and Rob Robbins.

After the introductions the Candidates had a moment to relax and join the Audience in watching a performance from the  S.B.K. second Generation Dance Company.
   The second part of the show was again started with the 2013 winners as they explain what it meant to be of the first pageant, and what it was like being a Miss Bogota for the past year. Each talked about how the pageant experience has affected their lives and grow as a person and young woman. Then all of this years candidates were ask one question that was chosen at random.  The question ranged from; What to do if a friend is being bullied. " Try to help the person out , and inform an Adult of the situation."  Is modern social media helping or hurting today's youths; " It has done both, in allowing easier communication over a longer distance , and  organising ones daily activity. But is has also started to stop the personal interaction with other allowing for a reductions of manners in groups."  What would  you say to those that disapprove of Beauty Pageants:  " This Pageant is not just about looks, but is more of meeting new friends learning the importance of manners & etiquette, and becoming a better person."  After all the questions were answered there was an intermission to tabulate the votes. 
    The final part of the evening began with a final acknowledgment of the current Miss Bogotas.
