Courageous Alexa Jones Wins Coveted Miss California Teen USA Title After Father’s Death in Auto Accident. Will Compete for Miss Teen USA Crown.

February 7, 2012 By PCAdmin Leave a Comment
Top two at the 2012 Miss California Teen USA Pageant

Alexa Jones, Miss Orange County Teen Regional, Wins Miss California Teen USA 2012 Title, After Father’s Tragic Death.

Courageous Alexa Jones won the Miss California Teen USA title after her father died in a tragic car accident. She will go on to compete for 2012 Miss Teen USA Crown.

Miss Orange County Teen Regional 2012, Alexa Jones, 18, swapped crown as the new Miss California Teen USA 2012 in front of 117 contestants from all over California. The crowd gave such a loud cheer for Alexa Jones as she gave the most amazing answer to her final question, giving tears of joy to everyone.

This is not an easy year for Alexa in spite of attending numerous community services and appearances for Orange County. One afternoon, while spending some training time with her Pageant Director, Giselle Boone, she received a very difficult news that her father was involved in a car accident. Alexa and her Mom drove to their house immediately and on their way home, they received word that her father indeed passed away from the accident.

Alexa became an inspiration to so many teens who lost a love one as she spoke of not giving up and losing hope, remembering that it is not your fault and that you should work hard and follow your dreams, making your special family member the inspiration, and that’s what Alexa did.

Alexa is a communication major at University of California in San Marcos. Alexa will forever be in the book as the first Teen from Orange County to ever win the title Miss California Teen USA 2012 since 1983.

Alexa will travel and compete at the Miss Teen USA 2012 in the Bahamas. Alexa Jones was trained by her Executive Director, Giselle Boone and OC Pageant Coach Gina Simms.

Miss America 2012 Laura Kaeppeler is currently in Indianapolis, IN participating in media events surrounding Super Bowl XLVI for Taste of the NFL, including attending the big game on Sunday.

Laura looked lovely yesterday in her Express clothing, as she spent the day on the famous “Radio Row” of the Super Bowl inside the Media Center at Lucas Oil Stadium. She participated in several interviews with sports and entertainment outlets such as NFL.com, Sirius/XM Radio, and even Yahoo! Sports where she gave her Super Bowl pick.  She took a break from interviews to sit in on the press conference with Madonna, who spoke about her half-time performance plans.

This morning, Laura appeared on Good Morning America where she judged a sandwich competition between a chef who was a New York Giants fan and a chef who was a New England Patriots fan. Watch her segment here!

Tomorrow, she is honored to attend Taste of the NFL’s Party with a Purpose, where she will be on hand to welcome guests and help raffle off prizes.

Since 1992, the Taste of the NFL has rallied the country’s top chefs and the NFL’s greatest to raise money in support of food banks throughout the United States. Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers who help make Taste of the NFL the single most successful charitable event at the Super Bowl, Taste of the NFL continues to help feed the 37 million Americans who have turned to their local food banks for assistance.
