Local Teen Heads to Pageant

The Rainy River district will be represented at a teen pageant this summer.

18-year-old Felicia Schmutz of Emo earned the right to represent northwestern Ontario at the Miss Teen Canada-World pageant in July after competing for the Manitoba title in Winnipeg over the weekend.

"After the show, I was asked if I wanted to represent a section of Winnipeg or northwestern Ontario," says Schmutz. "I really wanted to do northwestern Ontario because it's home and I don't too many have represented the area before."

Schmutz is now hoping to attract sponsorship to attend the July event in Toronto.
