This year's Master of Ceremonies was Gracie O'Bannon, who managed the segways into each category flawlessly while eliciting laughs from the attendees. Eight elegantly dressed contestants introduced themselves and then participated in various crowd pleasing performances including physical fitness routines, poise and elegance walks and talent showcasing.
