Congratulations to Miss Quechan Nation Revine Nerva and her First Attendant Miss Aubrey Palone.

The 2024/25 Miss Quechan Pageant was held on October 10, 2024 in the Paradise Event Center.

The invocation for the pageant was given by Darnella Melancon.  Councilman Jonathan Koteen then gave the introduction and welcoming remarks as well as serving as the master of ceremony for the pageant.

The three contestants for Miss Quechan Nation 2024/25 were Miss Mya Allen, Miss Aubrey Palone, and Miss Revine Nerva.  Each contestant gave an introduction speech, danced, modeled their traditional wear, and answered a random question that they drew from a basket presented by Mr. Koteen.

The pageant judges were Lucia Polk, Shelyne Twist, Brittany Miguel-Sharkey, Darnella Melancon, and Pamela Manchatta.

A presentation honoring the past leaders was given to former Quechan Tribal Presidents Mr. Mike Jackson, Sr. and Mr. Keeney Escalanti, Sr. before the beginning of the pageant.

Prior to the coronation, a farewell speech and dance was given by the outgoing Miss Quechan Sarah Laurenzana and her First Attendant Miss Mary Jane Barley.

The coronation of First Attendant Aubrey Palone was given first before the coronation of Miss Quechan Nation Revine Nerva.
