Congratulations to Heather Elwell, Miss Maine USA 2015 and Skyler Gaudette, Miss Maine Teen USA 2015!  Heather’s win is the true Cinderella story of 2015, as she placed 1RU in Maine the past three years, had also competed in Florida three times before that (including placing in the top 15 twice) and in Teen once.  Eighth time the charm!
