On Sunday April 19th, we found ourselves searching for a new Queen to assist our new Jean Lafitte in his quest to capture the city and make it ours for a while. Five young ladies heard the call, but we could only choose one. One who will represent our fair city well as she travels about Louisiana. one who can tolerate our loud guns and gatherings. Competition was tough, but one stood out from the others.
Madyson Hope Lopez of Lake Charles became our queen that Sunday night. Dressed in a gown of black and gold, I have to say she sparkled on stages. Troy had the privilege of escorting her and helping her with her skit that evening. When she first chose Troy to escort her, we laughed at the differences in height. Not knowing that this young lady was very wise to choose him based on his attire. I had not seen her gown until I walked backstage to check on things. And then I smiled. There she and Troy stood both in their black and gold. Despite their height, they complimented each other. Soon I found that she was as shy as he was. They made a great team.
And it still truly amazes me of what is meant to be. Every year we choose a new queen and somehow that queen just matches our new Lafitte. The judges know nothing of our Lafitte. They do not know his personality and his life, but it happens every year as if it was fate. Just as Cristi worked so well with Russ and Morgan worked so well with Bob, Madyson just fits Lloyd.
