Miss Georgia USA 2011

On November 19-20, 2010, dreams came true in Cartersville as Kaylin Reque of Suwanee was crowned the 2011 Miss Georgia USA at the Woodland Performing Arts Center. The 22-year-old Georgia Perimeter College student and NBA/NHL Dancer also has dreams of a career in the entertainment industry. "I have wanted to be Miss Georgia USA since I was small, but now as a young woman and titleholder, I know my values, intelligence, and personality will enable me to be a positive influence for females in the state of Georgia and across the nation," said Reque following her achievement. Added advice for her successor: "A titleholder needs to be smart, fashion savvy, fit and captivating. Actions speak louder than words and I believe a confident woman whom posesses all of these qualities will convey this important message as a relevant role model."
