On Friday evening, January 27, Aruba’s Minister of Social & Economic Affairs and Culture placed the crown on the head of Exina Kock, who will now reign during the remaining events of Carnival 58 as the 18th Señora Carnival. This was the first of 3 Queen elections, the next to be elected are the Children’s and Youth Queens, and finally, in the last weeks of revelry, the Grand Carnival Queen. These spirited “beauty” pageants also award their winners for Best Speech, Best Show and Best Costume, with originality and authentic carnival spirit deciding factors.
Exina, representing Aruba HOG – the Harley Davidson Club, was decidedly elegant and will be a most appropriate Señora Carnival as she presented a gracious and delighted demeanor when being singled out by this year’s Prince and Pancho.
