Girls, Gowns and Grins

Despite the persistent rain, beauty queens kept their hair neat, makeup unblemished and dresses immaculate at the Lanikeha Carnival and Beauty Pageant last Saturday. After all, the show must go on.

Fistfuls of glitter and shining costumes brightened the dreary day where over 70 girls, ages zero to 18, showcased their talent and beauty for a chance to be crowned winner of their age division.
