Miss South Pacific accompanies home country Niue

It’s not every country who can have Miss South Pacific to lead out their nation’s sports team at an international event like the Pacific Mini Games.

Niue was given that privilege as Miss South Pacific 2008, Vanessa Marsh, marched behind her country’s flag to lead Team Niue into the BCI Stadium as part of the official opening of the Games.

Vanessa won the title of Miss South Pacific nearly a year ago in American Samoa. This year the pageant will be held at Albert Park in Suva, Fiji on November 21-29, 2009.

The Cook Islands representative for the 2009 pageant will be Engara Gosselin whose grace and talent won her the Miss Cook Islands title in April of this year.
