Miss Hawaiian Tropic state contest

Nearly 30 girls compete at Karu for the golden title

The 26th Annual Miss Hawaiian Tropic State Competition took place last Saturday, Nov. 23, at Karu & Y. Nearly 30 local girls faced the panel during a closed judging session earlier in the evening, then strutted down the catwalk in a bathing suit in front of a lively crowd.  Five contestants shared in a $2500 cash prize, but only two women proceeded to the final competition in March, when one winner will be chosen to become The Miss Hawaiian Tropic spokesperson.
