Nassau County Legislator Steve Rhoads and Presiding Officer Norma L. Gonsalves welcomed contestants of the Miss Wantagh 2015 pageant to the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola. The Miss Wantagh pageant is about a teen representative with a desire to better her community and be a voice of her peers, while meeting officials from various levels of government. Keri Balnis, a resident of Wantagh, was crowned Miss Wantagh 2015.
“I am glad to see these young women taking a greater part in their community,” said Presiding Officer Gonsalves. “I wish them all the best.”
