Valley Voice December 2016 | Page 52

The 30th edition of the APS Electric Light Parade took place in downtown Phoenix on December 3rd. The annual free event was themed "1986-2016 A Phoenix Family Tradition." The Miss Arizona United States Pageant Queens were thrilled to participate. The car was presented by Midway Chevrolet. Enjoy this view of the Queens decorating their vehicle, their crowns and a behind the scenes look at the other participants including the Nolan Family. This family has participated every year for 30 years! More than 100,000 spectators from all over the valley enjoyed this fun family event.

While picking up the vehicle from our friends at Midway Chevrolet, a few young girls asked to take their picture with the Queens. This was the perfect opportunity to learn more about the plans they have for their future. That is just one of the many treats the day offered the Miss Arizona United States Queens. Once the Queens arrived at the staging location, it was all hands on deck to decorate the convertable complete with a BIG red bow!
