Ms. Wheelchair Kansas 2013 Selected at Annual Crowning Ceremony

The 2013 Ms. Wheelchair Kansas was recently crowned during a weekend ceremony held March 17, 2013, at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka. Angel Shaver of WaKeeney received her crown after participating in four judging sessions, as well as many other activities, throughout the three-day event held March 15-17. The weekend concluded with a formal crowning, where Angel was chosen as the new titleholder and fellow contestant Jessica Soderlund, of Oakley, was chosen as the runner-up.

The crowning ceremony, held on Sunday, was attended by more than 70 family, friends, and community members. The event consisted of platform speeches by each of the two contestants, as well as two on-stage questions. The audience enjoyed a slide show of memories from the weekend; a keynote speech from Ms. Wheelchair Oklahoma 2012, Jesa Lopez; and a farewell from the 2012 MWKS titleholder, Emily Evans of Bucklin.
