Belmont Freshman To Compete for Miss Tennessee
Emily Fitzpatrick, a freshman at Belmont University studying musical theatre, was crowned the new Miss Central Tennessee Saturday, February 21, in a pageant in Murfreesboro, over 24 other contestants.
Emily chose a vocal presentation, Art is Calling for Me, as her talent selection for the competition. She has more than 11 years of vocal training and has sung the National Anthem for the Cincinnati Reds. Emily’s platform is Promoting Support for the Arts. Emily, originally from Caledonia, Ohio, is the daughter of Tom and Laurie Fitzpatrick. Winning the pageant means a $500 cash scholarship and the right to compete for the Miss Tennessee title in Jackson, TN in June.
