There is a new Miss Bucks County, and she is from Fairless Hills.
Sarah Hughes, 18, was chosen to be the new Miss Bucks County earlier this month at a pageant held at Saint Cyril of Jerusalem Church Hall.

“I feel so honored to be given such an amazing opportunity, I am still in shock, but I cannot wait to start meeting new people and getting the word out about my platform,” Hughes said shortly after being selected.
The Miss Bucks County organization explains what Hughes’ role will be over the next year:
During her year as Miss Bucks County, Hughes will travel throughout Pennsylvania advocating her platform issue; ABCs for ASDs which stands for Activities and Afterschool Care for Children within the Autism Spectrum Disorder. She will talk to various government representatives, business leaders, community groups and citizens-at-large, urging them to get involved in the fight for more Activities and Afterschool Care for Children within the Autism Spectrum Disorder.
“Sarah embodies the qualities of a role model that young women and girls should have,” said Cristina Guzman, president of the Miss Bucks County, Miss Montgomery County and Miss Liberty Bell Scholarship Organizations. “She’s talented, ambitious and accomplished. We are excited about working with her this year.”

In addition to the title of Miss Bucks County, Hughes will receive a scholarship and the opportunity to compete for the Miss Pennsylvania title in Pittsburgh later this spring.
Hughes, daughter of Terry and Liz Hughes, is a student at Nazareth Academy High School and plans to attend college for a nursing degree come fall.
This year’s pageant was the first in 15 years, according to organizers.
