The second annual Hearts Afire Valentine Pageant raised $1,923 for the Loveland Stage Company (LSC).
The baby/toddler pageant was held Feb. 10 during Hearts Afire Weekend. This is the second year for the pageant. All proceeds benefitted the not-for-profit, award-winning theater located in the heart of Historic Downtown Loveland. Theater volunteers are raising funds to replace the HVAC system — an estimated $100k repair.
This year’s pageant had 23 participants. The Loveland Valentine Ladies judged the pageant, crowning the 2024 Royalty:
- Little Miss Valentine – Rory W.
- Little Mr. Cupid – Beau R.
- Miss Valentine – Dawson Joan B.
- People’s Choice - Dawson Joan B.
The city would like to thank the event volunteers, Loveland Valentine Ladies, 2023 Royalty Court, and special guest Miss Elementary America Kindergarten Camila Medina for their assistance with the pageant.
