Queen Rosio Godinez, the 18-year-old daughter of Guadalupe Godinez and Irma Muniz of Smithville, was named this year’s Middle TN Cornbread Festival Queen, Age 16-18 years. She also received the titles of Prettiest Hair, Prettiest Eyes, Prettiest Smile, Prettiest Attire, Most Photogenic, and People’s Choice.

The event was held at the DeKalb County Complex Auditorium as a benefit for the Last-Minute Toy Shop. The pageants featured girls up to 49 years old.

DeKalb Last Minute Toy Shop brings new toys to the Children of our community and helps families in Need. What is a “family in need”? If your family has come upon hard times this year due to unemployment, a family crisis/trauma, a debilitating illness, or being unable to provide for Christmas and pay the bills, then the DeKalb LMTS is here to help! We strive to build productive relationships with our community and local businesses and to make a positive impact through all of our pursuits for our friends in DeKalb County.
