Three Lauderdale County girls are heading to New Orleans for an experience of a lifetime.
Recently crowned state winners in the Our Little Miss Program in Hattiesburg were Holly Howard, Alanna Hall and Alexis Harrell. The three will compete at the world competition in New Orleans.
Alexis, 6, is the state's Personality La Petite representative. She is the daughter of Jamie and Shyenne Harrell.
Holly, 9, is the state's Our Little Miss representative. The daughter of Sharon Howard and Tod Howard, she attends Northeast Elementary School.
Allana, 10, is the state's Little Miss Pre-Teen representative. The daughter of Darrene and Jack Hall, she attends Northeast Elementary School.
All three honorees will compete in interview, sportswear and party wear at the state competition. Holly will perform a jazz/gymnastics routine to "Supermodel" and Alanna will sing "It's What's Inside that Counts." Each contestant also will attend theme parties and will be judged on their interaction with other contenders.
