Crysten Smith Earns Title of Little Miss Seminole

By Emma Brown

BRIGHTON — Crysten Smith, 7, daughter of Jamie and Crystal Smith of Brighton, recently brought the title of Little Miss Seminole back to Brighton with her. The Brighton reservation is extremely proud of Crysten, but is not surprised that she won.

For anyone that doesn’t know Crysten you are definitely missing out on knowing a very special person. She is an extremely outgoing, beautiful little girl that will always leave you with a smile on your face after an encounter with her. Crysten is a straight A student at Seminole Elementary and always puts her best effort forward in anything she does, which is obvious with her recent victory in the Little Miss Seminole Pageant.

On the day I snapped some pictures of Crysten she was dressed in a Seminole skirt and attending the Friday Pull-Out program which she loves being a part of. She is very active, with ballet and tap being her favorite extracurricular activities at the moment, and she also participates in soccer and gives the boys a run for their money in baseball. One of Crysten’s favorite things in life is also being a sister to her siblings. Crysten has two big brothers Jayce and JT, one younger brother Caillou, and one younger sister Jaime.

If you are ever around Crysten and her family you will bare witness to the love she has for them and the bond that they obviously share. Crysten has been very busy since being crowned Little Miss Seminole traveling to the many festivals and fairs going on this time of year and dazzling them with her cute smile and bubbly personality.

Crysten said her favorite thing about being Little Miss Seminole is all of the attention she is getting and riding in the parades. The Brighton community is very proud of Crysten and of all of her accomplishments already at such a young age. Good luck Crysten as you begin your year as Little Miss Seminole.
