PHILIPSBURG--Close to 4:30am on Wednesday morning, Shakainah Arrindell-Pompier became Teen Carnival Queen while Shanice Powell captured the Senior Queen title. The two ladies dominated their respective segments and went home with most of the sashes at Carnival Village in the early morning.
Supporters which consisted of teens and pageant lovers stayed put throughout the night and waited for the crowning event, even though Tuesday was a school night. The event was not as well attended as in previous years, however, the production considered to be up to the standards of previous years.
A special section was made at the front of the stage for dignitaries and members of the media. Posh Productions President Ana Rabess Richardson congratulated the two young ladies for capturing their crowns.
