GuelphMercury.com - BreakingNews - Internet entrepreneur named Miss Oktoberfest

KITCHENER — Natalie MacNeil is using a 40-year-old platform to push a modern message.

The 22-year-old Kitchener native and University of Waterloo graduate was crowned Miss Oktoberfest on Friday.

The ambassador contest was treated as a beauty pageant until 2003. But MacNeil wants young girls to know it’s beauty on the inside that matters.

“I think it’s really hard for little girls growing up,” said MacNeil, an Internet entrepreneur who wants to start a Miss Oktoberfest blog.

“When you stay true to yourself, that’s when you’re really a beautiful person.”

MacNeil is familiar with the pageant circuit. She has represented Canada as Miss Global in China, Miss Tourism in Tanzania, and International Model of the Year in South Korea.

In all she’s been to 50 countries.

But none of those experiences will compare to being Miss Oktoberfest, she said.
