Ashtin Giambrone, a 2012 graduate of St. Aloysius, who plans to attend Mississippi State University in the fall, has been locally appointed as Miss Vicksburg Hospitality and will compete at 8 p.m. Saturday at the state pageant in Hattiesburg at the Saenger Theatre.

The Mississippi Miss Hospitality winner will serve as a goodwill ambassador promoting Mississippi’s tourism, industry and economic development. This year, the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau is sponsoring Giambrone with several local businesses funding ad sales and Crown to Heels assisting with her wardrobe.
