Moose Jaw's Sierra Bearchell Places Third in Miss Teen World!

Congratulations are in order for Moose Jaw's Sierra Bearchell.  In February, not really expecting more than a rewarding experience, she entered the Miss Teen Saskatchewan pageant.   Shortly thereafter her family home was lost to fire and during the ensuing chaos she forgot all about the competition until the day before.  In a matter of hours she got prepared and then - she won!  She went on to win the Miss Teen Canada crown in Toronto in July.  Not just a pretty face, Ms. Bearchell proved a competent orator and blogger on her chosen subject of disaster relief - something she had become all too familiar with after the house fire.   Then came the big one - this past Sunday, August 30th Miss Teen World was crowned in Houston, Texas.  Sierra placed third!  She actually won the swimsuit portion of the event and was awarded the title of Most Photogenic.  You can see why.  We salute you Sierra!
