Judges crowned Hillsborough Community College student Shelby St. Amant as the 2014 Blueberry Queen at the second Tampa Bay Blueberry Festival Pageant March 29, at Keel and Curley Winery.
Nearly 100 Plant City-area contestants — ranging from ages 2 to 19 — took the stage for this year’s competition.
Other winners include Haley Riley (teen queen), Haven Futch (pre-teen queen), Caitlin Davis (junior queen), Andrea Pollard (little queen), Kennedy Duncan (tiny queen) and Kelsee Williamson (bud queen). They will make appearances at the upcoming Tampa Bay Blueberry Festival, which will take place April 25 to 27, at Keel and Curley.
The pageant raised money for the first Sweet Heart’s Gala on May 17, which will raise awareness and funds for local families battling childhood cancer. The pageant also raised about $300 for Special Olympics.
