“My experience at the Miss Hooters International Pageant was so incredible. Even though it was a competition, the sisterhood I created with my orange short sisters is something I’ll remember forever. We supported one another and we all empowered each other. The laughs and love we all shared together is something I’ll hold close to my heart forever. Being able to represent South Florida Hooters is so meaningful. They are a company like no other, the way they support and care about every single employee and want the best for everyone. Starting at 16 years old they helped me to be the confident, caring and compassionate woman I am today and I’m so thankful,” said Sarah Magda from Hooters of Sarasota. “To everyone who voted for me for fan favorite, we did it. I am in awe of the Sarasota community support I received and I cried happy tears when I won Miss Fan Favorite and third runner -up. I just want to thank everyone who voted for me this year. Knowing your town stands behind you and believes in you is so powerful. I am so appreciative of everyone in Sarasota who took the time to vote,” added Magda.
