The Christmas on the River pageants of 2016 came to an end with the crowning of the Little Miss COTR. 42 beautiful and energetic little ladies competed for the title at the Demopolis Civic Center Wednesday. Mistress of Ceremonies Debbie Butler announced each of the girls as they walked on stage, dressed to impress the judges. With a long list competing for the title, the judges picked a top 22 and then narrowed it down to a top 10.

The top 10 consisted of Susan Gray Bell, Claire Elisabeth Hasty, Khloe Gail Wolf, Camdyn Grace Morgan, Carly James Teel, Lilian Maria Magana, Anna Faith Wheeler, Emma Rae Claire Dahl, Brooke NyAsia Clark, and Violet Elizabeth Smelley.

The judges then decided on a top five that would compete one more time by answering an onstage question before they made their final decision.

Claire Elisabeth Hasty earned fourth alternate in a royal blue tulle gown embellished with sequins.

Awarded third alternate was Emma Rae Claire Dahl, wearing a pastel pink satin gown with ruffles and crystals.

In a beautiful light blue ruffled gown was second alternate Lilian Maria Magaña.

Susanna Gray Bell, wearing a white sparkle tulle gown trimmed in rhinestones, was chosen as first alternate.

Crowned Little Miss COTR 2016 was Camdyn Grace Morgan. Morgan wore a gorgeous bubble gum pink Quinceanera gown covered in ruffles and adorned in crystals. She is the five-year-old daughter of Brian and Angel Morgan and attends K-5 at Marengo Academy. Morgan was very excited to be wearing the beautiful Little Miss COTR crown and to also be wearing her favorite color pink.
