Our second Miss Florida USA took place in 1979 originating from the ballroom of Clearwater’s Costa del Sol development. Our second pageant was not broadcast even though we shot it with two camera’s to edit but the project was never completed. Just a few years ago we found the camera masters in storage and recently did the best we could with the footage. We enjoyed sharing our hard work and memories of when Miss Florida USA and Miss Florida Teen USA ruled the USA and was televised in 80 countries for all to see! Hosted by Miami television personality Chuck Zink as the pageant was won by Barbara Baan of Miami Springs won the title and just a few days later she was off to Miss USA where she finished second runner up. You can tell we had humble beginnings but eventually we heightened the pageant experience in The Sunshine State and with a run of 36 years of broadcasts to a very large and loyal viewing audience from Pensacola to The Florida Keys.
