On Friday, March 5, 2010 the city of La Mesa and the city of Santee held one of their most grand traditions, the Miss La Mesa and Miss Santee Pageants.  The programs have been a tradition in the cities since the late 1960’s and is an outstanding mentoring program for young women.  Honorable Mayor Randy Voepel was in attendance to formally present Kimberly Swank and Taylor Shelton The 2010 Miss Santee and Miss Teen Santee award.

Many young women from the east county have entered the pageants in hopes of becoming their new city ambassadors.  The contestants were scored on personal interview, speech, poise and personality, sportswear, evening gown and an on stage question.  The winners will advance to the Miss Greater San Diego Pageant, the official preliminary to Miss California USA and Miss USA.
