Miss Norfolk County to Compete for Miss Massachusetts Crown

The 73rd annual Miss Massachusetts Scholarship Pageant will once again be held on Friday, June 29 and Saturday, June 30 at the Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts in Worcester.

Representing Norfolk County will be Taylor Kinzler who resides in Lakeville. Kinzler was named Miss Norfolk Country back in April. For winning the crown, Kinzler received a  $1,250 scholarship

If she wins, Kinzler will earn scholarship money and will move on to the Miss America Pageant in 2013 as Miss Massachusetts. Currently, Kinzler has earned over $17,000 in scholarship money due to her participation in the Miss America Scholarship Organization.
