The Miss Queens pageant held its second pageant this year, serving as a local opportunity for young women in the Queens Borough and Long Island. Like other autumn pageants, like Thousand Islands and Bluebird, holding the pageant early in the season gives a full year of preparation for the state pageant. It also allows titleholders to have nearly a full year as a local titleholder before potentially earning another full year as Miss New York.
This year eight beautiful ladies (and a handful of Princess Prospectives) made their way to the Secret Theater to compete in the 2nd Miss Queens Pageant.
