Newly crowned Miss TFL Fiji Pageant queen Ann Dunn said she is ready for the Pacific Island Pageant contest in Samoa next month.
The 24 year old is also the reigning Suva’s Vodafone Hibiscus Festival queen.
Ms Dunn after being crowned queen expressed how grateful and happy she was.
She said despite the time frame for her preparation she is ready to overcome her challenges and represent Fiji to the next stage of competition.
“I am excited for the Pacific Pageant though it will be a short time to prepare, I am excited to what is in store and I am ready to make Fiji proud,” she said.
“This is such a privilege not only to stand here as Miss Hibiscus 2016 but to have the opportunity to represent this entire nation to the Pacific Island 2016 Pageant. I am blessed to wear this sash.”
Ms Dunn thanked all those who have been behind her success.
“I thank God because a lot of things have happened in the progress to get to this day,” she said.
“I also want to thank my family who are here especially to my grandmother from my maternal side.”
