TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - A Tallahassee teen is ready to compete on the national stage next week, after being crowned Florida’s Miss Juneteenth.

Corrin Hobbs, 16, will travel to Texas and vie for the title of Miss Juneteenth USA on October 11. She will compete in the essay, interview, talent and evening gown categories, according to a press release.
