Subject: MISS TRI CITIES 2002 Author: MWSO [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:53:34 02/16/02 Sat 2002 Miss Tri-Cities Pageant Art Feller Auditorium Kennewick High School July 21, 2001 The theme of the 2002 Miss Tri-Cities Pageant might as well have been Sister Act since Amanda Beer, 18, the younger sister of outgoing Miss Tri-Cities 2000-2001, Laura Beers, was crowned Miss Tri-Cities 2001-2002. “It’s the biggest honor I could ask for, to be crowned by my sister,” said Amanda who was also awarded a $4,000 scholarship, a $1,500 wardrobe and more than $2,000 in other gifts. And if that wasn’t enough of a family affair, Laura’s boyfriend, Josh Pasma, 22, a Whitworth College senior from Kennewick, took the opportunity during Laura’s farewell to propose marriage. To the delight of the audience, Laura said yes. Amanda is a 2001 graduate of Richland High School, now attending Columbia Basin College as an elementary music education major. In the talent competition, she performed a classical piano piece, Sonata, Opus 32 No. 2, The Tempest Movement No. 3 by Beethoven. Her platform - encouraging people with hearing loss – is near and dear to Amanda because she was born with a 50 percent hearing loss. Eleven contestants competed in the 2002 pageant, An Evening of Intrigue, emceed by Miss America 1987, Kellye Cash Shepherd of Tennessee and Richard Rogers. First runner-up and winner of the Miss Congeniality award was Mischa Willis, 21, of Kennewick. She won a $2,000 scholarship. In the talent competition, she performed The Shylock Dialog from Merchant of Venice. The second runner-up and recipient of a $750 scholarship was Jennifer Mueller, 18, of Kennewick, who sang Think of Me from The Phantom of the Opera. . The Spirit Award was given to Katrina Peters, 17, of Richland. Other contestants were Jacquelynne Artis of Richland, Megan Pierce of Richland, Ame Edler of Connell, Elizabeth Stancliff of Toppenish, Autumn Ellis of Richland, Katherine Runyon of Richland, and Nikki Ruff of Kennewick.
