Miss Erie 2023

What a night to remember! The Miss Erie 2023 drag pageant was an absolute blast, brought to us by The Zone Dance Club, GEAE (Greater Erie Alliance for Equality), and NWPA Pride Alliance. Former Miss Erie, Misty Michaels Kall, hosted the show with flair, and we were treated to mind-blowing performances from Misty herself and other incredible former queens: Rebecca Mae, Indi Skies, Valerie Valentino, Danyel Vasquez, Buffy Lynn Hayes, and the fabulous Debbie, who passed on her crown as Miss Erie 2022.

The spotlight was on fire as this year's contenders – Snarebear, Alysin Wonderland, Cherry Falwell, Katrina Twerk Island, and the one and only Shea D'Heaux – lit up the stage with their unique talents. These queens truly brought their A-game and made the judges' job a tough one.

Hats off to The Zone staff for pulling off such an amazing event. And let's give a round of applause to the judges who had the challenging task of picking a winner from this pool of talent.

When the dust settled, Shea D'Heaux emerged as the new Miss Erie 2023, and the crowd went wild. It was a night of pure fun, creativity, and community love, showing Erie's LGBTQ+ spirit at its finest. Huge congrats to Shea D'Heaux and all the contestants for a night that'll be talked about for ages!
