Carolina Beach and Kure Beach to hold beauty pageant

Lots of folks outside of the Cape Fear area will probably not know that Miss USA 2009 is right here from southeastern North Carolina. Kristen Dalton, a native of Wilmington, is a veteran beauty pageant winner and took home the big prize a few weeks ago.

Carolina Beach and Kure Beach will stage its own pageant, a dazzling display of local lovelies who might one day follow in Ms. Dalton's footsteps. The Miss Pleasure Island Beauty Pageant is scheduled for May 15. Please call 910-798-6405 for details.
