Organizer
“It's to promote the youths so that, you know sometimes the youths get discouraged, like nothing is in the world for them right but at least if we have a pageant then they know that they can look forward to something every year you know. And it is to promote the village and it is to promote the youths.”
The pageant will be held at the Biscayne Government School grounds at mile 26 on the Northern Highway at 7 on Saturday night.
