PBCC student wins Miss South Florida Fair

WELLINGTON - Cassie Stafford, 19, won the title of Miss South Florida Fair after beating out 11 other contestants. Besides the title Stafford also takes home a $3,000 scholarship, a $1,000 cash prize and will reign over all official events at the South Florida Fair for the next year.
Stafford, a psychology major, attends Palm Beach Community College where she made PBCC's Dean’s List. The Palm Beach Gardens High School graduate is also a recipient of the Presidential Honors Award and a member of the National Junior Honor Society.
Her accomplishments include graduating with honors from the Pre-Med magnet program at Palm Beach Gardens High School and she was a Radio Disney Mousketeer performer. Her talent in the pageant was vocal and her platform issue is “Love Your Body,” which promotes a healthy body image. By winning Miss South Florida Fair she will now advance to this summer’s Miss Florida pageant, a Miss America qualifier.
The other winners included first runner-up Courtney McKenzie of Florida International University, second runner-up Nicole Vega of Berean Christian School, and third runner-up Meghan Orsley, a Palm Beach Community College sophomore. While Indiantown resident Burgess Duane won Miss Congeniality and captured first place for interview.
