Nine young women are set to compete in the inaugural Miss Skeldon Heritage Resort Pageant on Saturday at the Skeldon Heritage Resort.
The nine contestants all hail from communities in and around Skeldon, East Berbice, Corentyne.
In a press release, the coordinator of the pageant, Linden Murray, stated that the pageant was conceptualised over a year ago. He noted that after being delegated with the management of the resort, formerly the GuySuCo estate staff compound, he decided to use the pageant as a signature event for the facility. “Since taking over as the manager I am cognizant that there are a number of initiatives and events that I can implement so as to make this resort profitable and that is what I have been doing,” Murray was quoted as saying.
