Elegance, community spirit and talent took center stage Saturday, April 4, as 26 contestants competed in the Miss Presque Isle Pageant at Presque Isle Middle School.
In front of a sold-out audience, six young ladies were crowned to represent the Star City for the coming year.
Under the leadership of Director Heidi Estabrook and Co-director Casey Estabrook, the pageant celebrated both the future and the legacy of the outgoing 2025 royalty. The reigning queens concluded an extraordinary year of service, having volunteered a collective 636 hours and raising more than $14,000 for local nonprofits across Aroostook County.
Highlighting the spirit of service, 2025 Miss Presque Isle Maggee Currie was honored with the Positive Impact Award for her personal contribution of 264 service hours during her reign.
The 2026 titles were awarded to: Miss Presque Isle Madelynn Putnam, Teen Miss Kara Sizemore, Junior Miss Aliyah Saucier, Pre-Teen Miss Paisley Funton, Little Miss Raylynn Kinney and Mini Miss Rowyn Michaud.
The event was made possible through the continued sponsorship and dedicated support of the Presque Isle Elks Ladies.
The first runners-up were: Alayzia Johnson (Miss), Elizabeth Corey (Teen), Raeley Cummings (Junior), Liv Rochford (Pre-Teen), Madalynn Kilcollins (Little) and Mia Plissey (Mini). In the Little Miss contest, second runner-up was Avery Ward and third runner-up was Juliet Fulton.
