There could be only one winner and the new Miss Garifuna Queen is Arreni Flores,
a resident of Hopkins Village. Regrettably, she wasn’t there when we taped
this rehearsal video. She was closely followed by Miss Dangriga Lawani Marin
who came in second and Miss Belize City Keila Martinez who walked off with third
place.
According to pageant coordinators, the Bliss Center for the Performing Arts
was packed to capacity and it was a very close competition. The first place
prizes included a UB scholarship and a lap top computer.
On Thursday in observance of Garifuna awareness day, all Garinagu are being
asked to wear their cultural attire.
