Corie Cates named Miss Florida Seafood

            The Florida Seafood festival has chosen its queen.

Franklin County High School senior Corie Cates was crowned Miss Florida Seafood Saturday night.

Corie is the daughter of Mike and Carla Cates of Apalachicola.

She was selected from a field of four candidates.

The title comes with a 1000 dollar scholarship.

She will be pretty busy over the next few months publicizing the 53 annual Florida Seafood Festival.

She’ll take part in parades around the region and make appearances on area television and radio stations.

She’ll also stay busy during the festival, which is scheduled for November 4th and 5th this year.

As queen she’ll officially open the event, as well as head up the annual parade.

And along with King Retsyo, she’ll ride in the front boat during the blessing of the fleet, and oversee the oyster shucking and oyster eating contests.
