Miss Hometown Christmas crowned Saturday

The second annual Hometown Christmas pageant was held Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at Veteran’s Plaza in downtown Atlanta. There were 22 participants in seven categories. Winners were featured in the Christmas parade that evening. Winners were: Baby Miss

Winners were: Baby Miss – Laurel Pena; Toddler Miss – Huntleigh Restelle; Tiny Miss – Bexley Logan; Little Miss – Jazzalyn Bailey; Petite Miss – Brylee Caler; Pre-Teen Miss – Brooklyn Bailey; Teen Miss – Maddy Parker. Judges were Misty Waller, Nicole Falgout and Jessica Woods.

“We weren’t sure if we were going to have the pageant because of the pandemic,” said Shelley Endsley, director of the event. “But I think people are ready for some normalcy and happy to do something with their kids. I’m glad we were able to offer that to them. I hope to continue this into a new tradition for the Atlanta Hometown Christmas event.”
