Miss Baystate 2015--Anastasia Lusnia

As you know, talent makes up the largest portion of the Miss America Organization's local, state, and national competitions: "The Massachusetts Academy of Ballet has become a second home for me. Each day I look forward to going to the studio, and working hard to grow as a dancer and as an artist."


Miss Berkshire County 2015--Amanda Morton

"The incredible views in Berkshire County are many but the really breathtaking views are high above the tree lines and require hiking boots. Hiking the mountains of Berkshire County has always been one of my favorite outdoor activities. Monument Mountain is my favorite mountain to hike because it offers a 360 degree view of Berkshire County at its peak. My high school, Monument Mountain Regional High School, was named after the landmark and can be seen at the top of the mountain as well. In many ways Monument Mountain stands as a friendly reminder of where I was four years ago and what I have accomplished since."


Miss Boston 2015--Sabrina Ponte

"The Boston Garden has always been one of my favorite places as it was a place my father exposed me to very young. The Boston Garden is home to the Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins, both excellent teams. Being a season ticket holder for the Bruins I am at the garden often in the winter and am able to appreciate Boston's enthusiastic sports culture. If you haven't attended a game at the Boston Garden or any of event I highly recommend it, as it is one of my favorite places!"

Miss Collegiate Area 2015--Meagan Fuller

Meagan Fuller hails from Attleboro and she says: "I wouldn't be a true Attleboro "townie" if I didn't talk about Morin's Diner. Morin's has been a staple in the Attleboro community since 1911! Just a few years ago, Morin's was featured on Food Network's show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. It is a traditional diner famous for its breakfast: omelets, pancakes, you name it! My usual order is the "JB Morin Special" or "The Patriot" with coffee milk (of course!) It is a true piece of American nostalgia. Since I was a little girl I remember going to have breakfast there with my grandparents after Sunday mass. Here's the link to their website: http://www.morins1911.com/ordereze/1003/Page.aspx"


Miss Greater Worcester 2015--Samantha McGraw

"I discovered the Miss Worcester Diner! The Miss Worcester Diner is a small little diner on the side of the road that serves a variety of lunch and dinner foods! They also had many deserts! The owner was so welcoming and told me to come right in! This diner really captures what Worcester was like in the 60's. Overall, it's defiantly one of the best places in Worcester!"


Miss Mayflower 2015--Lyndsey Littlefield

"One of my favorite places growing up was always Plymouth's waterfront! I remember always looking forward to going to Plymouth every Fridays as kid! It has everything to fill any type of day! From the classic lawn Led Zeppelin cover band concerts on the lawn by the ever famous Plymouth Rock, to the best seafood you will ever have at the Cabby Shack! ( As a kid, I always enjoyed painting pottery at ClayChicks! ) I have always loved exploring Plymouths endless amount of things to do, as well as its history! The MayFlower II is one of the most fascinating things! (And if your like me, and love more of the spooky/ thriller things, right outside of the Mayflower II is nighty ghost tours! HOW COOL?!) I would highly suggest making a day trip! Don't forget the cameras moms!"



Miss New Bedford 2015--Joclyne Nunes

"New Bedford High School is still a place that holds so much pride in my heart. There is so much greatness, intelligence, and talent that thrives within the school. It is where I spent 4 years of my life, where I really "grew up," and where I learned what it meant to be a whaler: once a NBHS Whaler, always a NBHS Whaler! I love my city and my high school!"


Miss Taunton 2015--Devon Williams

"Downtown Taunton is truly a special place - specifically The Taunton Green Historic District. Located in the center of the city, this piece of land was crafted in 1830 and named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. 'Taunton Green was historically a gathering place for troops headed to war. Since 1914 it has hosted the city's annual holiday light display which attracts visitors from throughout the area, giving Taunton the nickname of "The Christmas City".'

I've visited the Green in many capacities - from picnicking, going downtown to watch Lights On, or just strolling through for some shopping. There's never a dull moment on the Taunton Green. A variety of events are hosted here and you can always find something to do. Whether it be a fantastic public arts festival like Taunton Creates or grabbing food at one of the surrounding restaurants (El Mariachis - for sure!) and eating outside on the benches - the Green is the place to be in Taunton."

SEE YOU ON JUNE 26th (Preliminaries) and 28th (Finals) at the Hanover Theatre in Worcester, MA where the 76th Miss Massachusetts will be selected!

Yours truly,

Lauren Kuhn
Miss Massachusetts
