The 2011 winners of the Miss Chilton County Pageant were crowned Saturday night after a minor time change because of the Alabama-LSU game.

Candace Pierce, 19, of Clanton was named Miss Chilton County and Miss Congeniality.

Along with her new title, Pierce was the recipient of a $2,000 scholarship from the Clanton Evening Lions Club.

“I’m very honored to be given the opportunity,” Pierce said. “Thank you to the Lions Club for the scholarship. I’m looking forward to having a good year.”

Pierce is a nursing major at Southern Union Community College in Opelika. She said she plans to continue competing in pageants for scholarship money.

“It was a lot of fun,” she said of Miss Chilton County, most likely the last local pageant she will be eligible for because of her age. “It’s good to come back home and see everybody.”
