Prediction

This pageant will be interesting because all of the contestants have competed before and so we have a basic idea of their skill level. In the past, Miss Mohawk Valley has been chosen in the interview room- she must have a close connection to the region, understand the diversity and politics, and be willing to travel throughout all four five counties during her reign.  Lifestyle and Fitness hasn’t been a huge factor, and contestants are told that their score is earned from the neck up. A strong talent and a strong interview will be the winning combination for this pageant.

Based on the contestants consistency throughout this year, and at Miss Mohawk Valleys of the past, I believe the crown will be between Abbey Naumowicz and Catherine Banks. Tracee Schiebel and Heather Graves will round out the Top 4 spots. Amanda Abdagic is someone to look out for as well, since she won this local before.
