The Yorktown City Council got the royal treatment during their regular meeting on February 25.
The 2025 Miss Yorktown court was crowned at the beginning of the meeting by Western Days President Chad Buesing. The packed audience cheered as each royal title winner was announced and wobbly tiaras were balanced for the official photo.
This year’s Miss Yorktown is Ashley Gaida and her court includes: Junior Miss Chriselda Torres, Junior Miss Yorktown Grand Duchess Gabriella Anzaldua, Duchess Cheyenne Smolik, Young Miss Avery Watson, Young Mister Landon Smolik, and Little Miss Oakland Klein.
The Western Days Association cancelled this year’s pageant because not enough young people signed up to have a competition. Instead, each applicant went through an interview process before being awarded a title.
The 2025 Miss Yorktown Court will represent Yorktown at parades and events throughout the region until a new court is named for 2026. Those interested in the pageant continuing should look for notices of pageant entry forms in the fall.
