Seven girls will receive $1,000 scholarships and advance to the “Cities of America” National Pageant in Orlando, Fla.”I’d like the experience of being in the pageant, and I’d like to represent Colorado in the Cities pageant,” Nicole said. “I’d also like to meet new friends and probably gain more self-confidence … I think this would help.”
