Queen Chelsea sponsors a child in India named Gracey Singh. This came about during the summer of 2008 when she attended Ichthus with the Cometland Youth Group. There was a Compassion International booth set up with photos of international children in need of a sponsor. Since that day she has made monthly contributions to the Singh family. Her contributions go towards food and shelter, but mostly schooling for Gracey. Her favorite part about her sponsorship is how she has the opportunity to have regular correspondence with Gracey. Along with the letters, she always draws pictures that she has saved over time. Over the next nine years that she will sponsor Gracey, she looks forward to seeing her learn and grow. In the midst of these remaining years, Chelsea would love to be able to meet her in person.
In high school Chelsea was the captain of her cheer squad, Student Council President, and Class secretary. She also was the Editorial Director of her school newspaper -”The Oakwood Times”. During the years was involved in many school clubs – National Honor Society, Europe Club, Compassion International, Appalachia Service Project, International Club, and the Biology Club. As you can see she was very busy as a volunteer and as a student with her four year High Honor Roll honors.
Queen Chelsea was not a stranger to the Georgetown Fair Pageant. This was her third year participating in the pageant. In previous pageants she has been a runner up, non-finalist in evening gown and received the directors award.
The Georgetown Fair Board, Pageant Crew and Directors Are very proud of our Queen Chelsea and her accomplishments!
