Ella Finkle-Weaver of West Seattle was recently selected to participate in the 2014 Miss Jr. Teen Seattle pageant competition that will take place Saturday October 11, 2014, 4:00pm at Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien. Ella learned of her acceptance into this year's competition when the pageant announced their selections following interviewing in the local Seattle area.


Personality is the number one aspect that each contestant is judged on during all phases of competition, including an interview held the evening prior to the pageant. Ella will also have two modeling routines; casual wear and formal wear.



If Ella were to win the title of Miss Jr. Teen Seattle, she would represent Seattle and the surrounding communities at the National Competition that will take place in Orlando, Florida. Over $30,000.00 in prizes and awards will be presented at the National Competition while each winner enjoys this expense paid trip of five nights and six days in Orlando, Florida.



Ella raised the money to participate in the pageant from community businesses, organizations, and private individuals. This financial sponsorship provided Ella with training to become a very confident and well-prepared contestant in this year's Seattle Pageant.



Ella would like to thank her local sponsors, which include: Pegasus Book Exchange, Three Tree Women’s Clinic and Patricia Acklin, Manager at West Seattle Thriftway.
