This weekend, January 13th-15th, the annual Miss New York USA pageant will kick off at the Purchase College Performing Arts Center in Purchase, NY and our very own Laura Hajek will be competing against 140 other girls for the title of Miss New York!

Laura is representing Glens Falls in the pageant and you can help her win the People’s Choice Award. How, you ask? Simple! Watch this video we made, and use the ‘Tweet’ and ‘Share’ buttons to vote. The more shares and tweets she gets the closer she comes to victory. Voting lasts all week and you can share it as many times as you are willing. The video, which features Sheldon Crest of Channel 616 fame, has already garnered a lot attention for it’s unconventional attitude toward pageantry.
