Melanie Gonzalez Rodriguez was crowned Miss Teen Phil Campbell.

“It was a wonderful experience for the town of Phil Campbell,” said Michelle Marbutt, one of the event’s organizers. “The support of the community is always amazing. Being our first pageant, I felt like it went really well. Although I would have liked to have had more contestants, the girls were all beautiful and I loved seeing them lift up and encourage one another.”
Marbutt said plans for next year are already underway. “We plan to expand the pageant to include ages up to 21. We also plan to have the pageant the week before the Phil Campbell Festival next year to hopefully get more participation. I want to invite everyone to come join us for the Phil Campbell Festival June 21-22. We look forward to having great music and, who knows, you may get to meet our newly crowned Miss Phil Campbell!”
