Reinas de la Feria

Little Lauris' aunt was the Queen of Agriculture.

This is the back side of Floria's kite. It includes the main symbols of our town.

Floria, Child Queen of the Feria. She's Lauris' cousin.

Last year's Queen of the Feria and her escort - both are teachers!

Lauris and Saturnina dancing marimba down the walk while throwing baskets of candy into the crowd.


I think Lauris is just the cutest little three year old!

Floria, with her queenly attire.
I never thought that I'd like going to beauty pageants. However, pageants are a big part of community entertainment here, and I really love them now! This month we have had three pageants, and tonight was the "crowning" ceremony. All the pictures except for the two with the kite are from tonight. All the girls are dressed in the traditional dress of our town (each municipality has a different blouse / skirt / belt combination).

  1. She is SO cute! I love the colors of their dresses and belts..Did you get one for yourself (being part of the town for so long and all)?

  2. Yes! I'm hoping to get one right before I leave. I have a different skirt and blouse from another area of the country that I have been wearing to special events for a few weeks, but I definitely want one from my town.
