Prior to the arrival of family and friends to cheer them on, the contestants for this year’s Miss Connecticut Volunteer and Miss Connecticut Teen Volunteer engaged in some preparatory rehearsals.
Hair and makeup weren’t quite perfect. The young women dressed for comfort and not “WOW.”
The Miss Connecticut Volunteer 2025 Serena Charbonneau and Miss Connecticut Teen Volunteer Jaidalynn Alicea also spent their final moments wearing the crown by preparing for their time on stage.
The competition was held July 26 at The Courtyard by Marriott in Cromwell.
Yokayris Castillo was selected as the new Miss Volunteer Connecticut and Ella Perillo as the new Miss Volunteer Connecticut Teen.
