The next Miss USA may come from North Miami.
Jenna Edwards, who won the North Miami crown in April, recently earned the right to compete for the Miss USA title when she won the Miss Florida 2007 pageant last weekend at Broward Community College.
According to the city, it's the first time in more than 40 years of pageant history that someone from North Miami has competed for Miss USA.
Edwards, 24, will represent the state in the Miss USA pageant next spring. She was crowned Miss North Miami on April 1 at the city pageant sponsored by the Greater North Miami Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the annual Miss North Miami competition with support from the city and many local businesses.
Edwards is the founder of the nonprofit organization Queen for A Day , which offers young girls fighting cancer and other illnesses the chance to be pampered and crowned queen for that day, complete with a tiara. Information is online at www.qfad.org.
''We congratulate Jenna and wish her well as she competes for the national title early next year,'' read a city statement. ``We also congratulate the Greater North Miami Chamber of Commerce for the work that they put into the pageant coordination each year, as well as all of the businesses that support the pageant annually.''
