“The contestants really
enjoyed themselves. I felt honored to have the ladies on the farm and show them
around. It was one of my most exciting tours. I showed them a kind of farming
we once did in North Caicos but more modern, and showed them that there is
loads of potential to grow food in North Caicos.” said Pastor Courtney Missick.
In Middle Caicos, the
contestants visited the Caves in Conch Bar, explored Mudjin Harbour and enjoyed
lunch at Mudjin Bar and Restaurant before returning to North Caicos for a guest
appearance at the 3rd Annual Rake and Scrape Festival produced by the
Festerama Committee at the Horsestable Beach.
Tueton Williams, Festerama President
said, “Having the Sassy Six in attendance at this year’s Rake and Scrape
Festival was truly remarkable for the community of North Caicos and the
beautiful ladies alike. The community and the ladies got a chance to connect
personally while enjoying the festivities.”
“In effort to promote
North Caicos as the next viable destination of choice within the Turks and
Caicos Islands, the Festerama committee is extremely honored and privileged to
once again reintroduce contestants of the Miss Universe Turks and Caicos Beauty
Pageant to our island’s beauty, culture, heritage and rake and scrape music.
Last year the Sizzling Six made an appearance and this year the Sassy Six
graced us with their presence.”

Caicos Islands on a local and international stage will compete to find the one
