Other contestants in the pageant were Lacey Chandler, Jessie Heath, Lauren Truitt, Meghan Welch, and Caroline Collins.  Miss Jessica Cook, Miss SAR 2002 and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Cook of DeSoto, was the Mistress of Ceremonies.  Miss Cook is a student at the University of Georgia.  She will graduate in May of this year with a degree in Biology and will be a student at The Medical College of Georgia Dental School in Augusta this fall.  This year's pageant was dedicated to Mrs. Gail Hooks.
