If you follow anything that Christina Andrianopoulos talks about in her Style & Vibe segment for WorcesterScene, you would know that the city boasts some fantastic boutiques for all styles and interests. In fact, in July of 2009 the Miss America Organization, held the preliminaries to the Miss Massachusetts competition at Worcester’s Hanover Theatre. To help solidify the idea of Worcester really establishing itself as a fashion conscious city, the Hanover Theatre is going to be presenting the Miss Latina competition. According to a press release from the organization running the event, they are looking for some Local Latinas that want to take home the crown.
Latinas Needed for local pageant
Applications are now being accepted for the Miss Latina Worcester County cultural and scholarship pageant. Young ladies and adult Latina women ages 6 through 40 are eligible to participate. Applicants will be chosen to compete in four title divisions: Little Miss Latina Worcester County, Teen Latina Worcester County, Miss Latina Worcester County, and Señora Latina Worcester County.
Contestants will compete in four contest categories on July 24, 2010 at the majestic Hanover Theater for the Performing Arts in Downtown Worcester. As part of this magnificent event, contestants will participate in various seminars and workshops, such as, proper etiquette, self-esteem enhancing discussions, modeling, health and wellness, career path orientation, and much more. There will be scholarships, prizes, and awards for the title winners and the top finalists, as well as for some of the competing contestants.
For more information on how you could become the next Miss Latina Worcester, we invite you and a parent or guardian to attend a pageant informational session to be held at the Worcester Public Library’s Saxe Room located on 3 Salem Square, Worcester on January 9, 2010 at 11:00 AM.

Fling Into Spring Worcester-Style
Contest Provides One Lucky Winner and Guest a Chance to Enjoy a Complementary Night Out in Worcester
The Fling Into Spring contest has expanded WorcesterScene.com’s primary purpose of acting as a Worcester resource into a highly contested chance for one lucky winner to experience the city. Luke M. Vaillancourt, the site’s founder, has personally selected some of Worcester’s finest establishments to make April 30th a night to remember. Starting March 1st through March 31st visitors can sign-up for their chance to win:
- Transportation for 2 for the evening
- Dinner for 2 compliments of Grille 57 Steakhouse
- A gift card for Coffee and Dessert provided by Allgos: Sweets and Drinks
- A personal hair cut/style at Rinse Hair Lounge
- A $100 gift card to Tush: A Denim Boutique
- Two tickets to the Worcester Historical Museum
- A free Worcester pronounciation T-Shirt provided by Worcester Historical Museum
- A Free Salsa Session (6-weeks) for one provided by Salsa Storm
- Night’s accommodations provided by Crowne Plaza Worcester
Vaillancourt says, “These businesses have come together to provide a night of entertainment that the winner and guest will be certain to remember.” He adds, “It is tremendous to see the amount of growth that has happened in the city—especially in today’s economy. Given these consumer challenges, businesses are forced to be more creative to developing experiences geared to retain and grow their customer base.”
While WorcesterScene.com has been providing a web presence for Worcester area businesses, large and small, Vaillancourt is thinking of long-term strategies for future growth. He explains, “The site’s attendance has doubled each month since it’s launch. I’ve found that while some visitors have dubbed the site the ‘yellow pages on steroids,’ WorcesterScene.com must continue to seek additional venues to engage its audience.” In December, WorcesterScene.com embraced a new mode to disseminate information to its 2,000 unique monthly visitors and 2,500 e-mail (SceneAlert) subscribers: monthly video segments featuring notable Worcester personalities. Domenic Mercurio (Mercury Media), Mark Piscillo (Victory Bar and Cigar), Laura Briere (Vision Advertising), and Christina Andrianopoulos (The Omega Group) partnered with WorcesterScene.com to create brief videos about topics that they hold dear to their heart—Wine, cigars, restaurants, and style.
Over the past year, WorcesterScene.com has proliferated into a daily resource that it’s visitors access from the web site, Facebook group, and on the go via their mobile device. With WorcesterScene.com’s popularity growing stronger each day, Vaillancourt thinks that the Fling Into Spring will be the start of the next chapter in WorcesterScene.com’s city presence.
