Freeport, Grand Bahama - On August 13th, at 8pm Mrs. Keldra Pinder will be officially crowned, Mrs Bahamas-World by
her husband Mr. Philip Pinder at a Coronation event /show at the Hilton
Outten Cente.
This is the Bahamas' first National Pageant in Mrs World history.
The Mrs Bahamas-World is a franchise of the prestigious Miss America, Mrs America and Mrs World organization.
Mrs World has been in
operation for more than 40 years and boasts of more than 90 delegates on
average from almost every country around the world to compete for the
title of Mrs World in different host counties. This year 's host country
is Korea.
The Mrs Bahamas-World is a national pageant and is open to all Married
Women of the Bahamas. It is similar to most beauty pageants except it
focuses on family life and community issues and the winner is not crowned by a
previous queen; she is and always crowned by her spouse, which is the
way of the franchise. Although Nassau has more corporate sponsors, the
Home for Mrs Bahamas-World will be Freeport, Grand Bahama because
Nassau is already the Home to many National Pageants.
Mrs Keldra Pinder is so excited to begin her reign that she has
already put things in place to structure her year as Wife, Mother and
Educator along with her platform for the year which is Cancer Awareness. She will be working along with the Cancer Association of
Grand Bahama with their various projects.
