or 2019 Miss Kansas Annika Wooton, the path to making her dream come true wasn’t the easiest one. And, unlike another famous resident of that great state, clicking her heels together three times wasn’t going to get it done. Instead, Wooton had to put in years of hard work, weather disappointment, and remain laser-focused on her goal. Fortunately, on June 8, all of that perseverance finally paid off when the former Manakin-Sabot resident was announced as the winner of the 2019 Miss Kansas Pageant. The photos from that day show her elation as she received her crown, the moment that officially kicked off the full year that the title will be hers. But while the former Miss Wichita certainly enjoys all of the glitter and glitz that goes along with being a pagsee Wooton > 2

Annika Wooton, here being crowned Miss Kansas on June 8, has been competing in pageants since she was a teen growing up in Goochland.
Those who work with Goochland Chief Deputy Treasurer Pamela Duncan have known for a long time just how valuable she is to the county Treasurer’s Office. Now, it seems, many more people know it as well. On Friday, June 14, Duncan was named the Deputy Treasurer of the Year at the Treasurers’ Association of Virginia Annual Conference in Arlington, recognizing the exemplary work she does as Chief Deputy Treasurer. DUNCAN “I am completely overwhelmed to receive this great honor,” said Duncan, who wears several hats in her current role.
