Miss Georgia USA 2010

On November 13-14, 2009, dreams came true in Cartersville as Cassady Lance of Savannah was crowned the 2010 Miss Georgia USA at the Woodland Performing Arts Center. The 24-year-old University of Houston student also has dreams of becoming an entertainment reporter. "Having the opportunity to represent Georgia in the Miss USA pageant will give me an incredible platform to promote causes that are very important to me such as artistic expression in children," said Lance following her achievement. "Perhaps the most exciting prospect is the chance to let people know that today's pageant contestants are strong, intelligent, and motivated women who are trying to make a difference in society."
