Miss Virginia Becomes New Miss America

A local Miss Virginia official just had a feeling about Caressa Cameron, who became Miss America over the weekend. “At Caressa’s send-off party, she sang her competition song “Listen” from Dream Girls and we were all brought to tears,” said Carolyn Williams, public relations director for the Miss Virginia pageant, which is held in Roanoke every June. There’s more: “On the way home, I told my husband Don, she will win Talent Preliminaries at Miss America…she did. [Last] Saturday, I told everyone I talked to that she would be the next Miss America. Again, I was right. Caressa will make a great Miss America. She is the entire package.”
