A major milestone as the 50th Annual Miss Yucca Valley Scholarship Pageant enjoyed a successful and well-attended presentation Saturday night at the Joshua Springs Thunderdome. Taking the crown from a poised and confidant field of eight contestants was Yucca Valley High School junior Maggie Nelson. The First Princess was Hailey Green, Second Princess Emily Scheckler, and Third Princess. Kaylee Pope. The Miss Congeniality nod went to Deborah Simpson and Miss Photogenic went to Angelique Pulido. During the announcement of the Rotary Essay winner, Megan Rieman, Rotary Club President Bob Stadum announced that the award will now be named the “Sheldon and Tara Hough Rotary Essay Award”. The honor comes as the evening marked the 20th anniversary of the Houghs’ direct involvement in the production of the pageant. The Rotary Club will continue its efforts with the Pageant under new chairperson, John Babrowski.
