Be Kind Belize kids at Caribbean Villas

Be Kind Belize kids Delvorene Zuniga, Julian Trapp, Dioni Moh and Faith Edgar all won prizes sponsored by Sail Sports. Caribbean Villas were kind enough to provide cold drinks. The children learned to sail a Hobie Catamaran and then were given the opportunity to sail one themselves. It was a great adventure and the children were able to see marine life from a different perspective.

Queen of the Bay Contestants visit San Pedro

The delegates vying for the 65th Queen of the Bay pageant were on the island for a day full of activities and fun as part of their countrywide tour of the country.

Councilor Juan Alamilla, Miss Rena Usher and Councilor Pablo Ico

The contestants were handed tokens of appreciation by Councilor Pablo Ico and Juan Alamilla Sr. at the deck of the Sunbreeze Hotel.
They also got to have lunch at BC's Beach Bar - one of the landmark establishments of La Isla Bonita.
The pageant will be held at Birds' Isle on Saturday, September 4th, at 7pm in Belize City. Current Queen of the Bay 2009-2010, Stann Creek's 19-year-old Rena Beverly Usher will be crowning one of the ten hopefuls vying for the title this year. The pageant is a prestigious ceremony that focuses on the young ladies' knowledge of Belize, and tests their talents (also based on the theme "Belize") as well as the formal curtsy that speaks of old world formality and prestige.
