Anegadians turn up in numbers to support newly crowned queen
Kimberly A. Smith, a student of the Claudia Creque Educational Centre, was the heart of attention, cheers and words of encouragement when she took to the stage of the packed Emile E. Dunlop Community Centre in The Settlement on December 15, 2019.
Smith had no competition following a last minute drop out of another 17 year old. This resulted in the organisers shifting from having a pageant to a coronation ceremony.
A prepared queen
That did not deter Smith; however, from exhibiting how prepared she was in the various categories had the pageant been held.
Her performances included an introductory dance, steel pan music, displaying of her football (soccer) skills and her talent piece- which was a medley of poetry written by herself.
For swimwear, Smith rocked a three piece from the Islander Swim Collection by Andrea Wilson.
Smith’s final appearance on stage was in evening wear after which she was crowned Miss Anegada Ultimate Teen Queen 2019 by Mr Caribbean, Yohance T. Smith.
Among the prizes and awards presented were $1000 cash and the Neil Cline Miss Anegada Ultimate Teen Queen trophy.
An evening of talent
Organisers also fashioned the programme to feature the talents of other youths. Among those taking the stage were the Methodist Steel Pan Corps and the Evans family on flute and guitar.
There were also children modelling and recital of scriptures.
One of the organisers, Heather I. Smith, said the aim of the pageant is to prepare young women in the community to participate in the Miss BVI and other local pageants.
Nurse Romalia Smith honoured
Meanwhile, the pageant committee also honoured retired nurse Mrs Romalia Smith for the work she continues to do with the young people of Anegada.
According to the MCs for the night, Trefor A. Grant and Cathy O. Richards, the event was well organised and showcased the variety of talent in the community and the potential of the youths there.

Stop giving these unfortunate young folks who are without substantial guidance and sincere caring a bowl of marbles for cherries.
No competition, no pageant no winner is all it was is and will be.
Reality is required when your intent is to live in the real world.
Kudos to Heather Smith the organizer. Bugher and better next time. Nothing can stop you go all the UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why allow it to happen when it could have been stopped weeks ago.
Only in the BVI could you put on a tight frock .wear a rhinestone looking gadget on your weave and declare queenship. This is hilarious.
