Last Sunday, the children became the stars of the Tahíche festivities in honor of Santiago Apóstol and Santa Ana, with the election gala of the Children's Queen and the play back, in which the little ones participated.
With only five years old, Adriana Rodríguez Armas managed to win the queen's crown, while Adriana González, Nayeli and Verónica received the Miss Summer, Miss Congeniality and Miss Photogenic awards, respectively, and the rest of the aspirants were left with the title of Ladies of Honor.
The event, which began at 9:00 p.m., was held on the sports court of the neighborhood association, in order to accommodate all the family and friends, who did not want to miss this event.

In total, 16 girls aspired to the children's crown, and paraded first in swimsuits and then in gala dresses, but they also participated in a special choreography, in which they danced a song wearing a denim skirt with a knotted blouse.
Between each pass of the candidates, the boys and girls of the children's play-back took to the stage, imitating their musical idols and always very supported by the public.
Before knowing the jury's verdict, all the candidates and participants in the play-back danced the song of the football world cup "Waka Waka", by the singer Shakira. After the song was finished, the candidates went on stage to find out the jury's verdict, and all of them were given a bouquet of flowers and some gifts for their participation.
