           LITTLE MISS OCEAN CITY PAGEANT: SISTER SUCCESSION

  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to most 
of the traditions that we South Jerseyans enjoy, but now we're back, 
we're on track, and we're moving forward. The Little Miss Ocean City 
Pageant was able to make its long-awaited comeback this summer, and in 
typical South Jersey fashion, history was made. Prior to the pandemic, 
Antonella Di Antonio was crowned Little Miss Ocean City, but this year, 
in perfect comeback fashion, Antonella had the privilege of crowing her 
successor, her younger sister, Arianna. This isn't the first time that 
sisters won the coveted Little Miss Ocean City title, however, this is 
the first time, in the history of the O.C pageant that one sister 
crowned the other. I want to congratulate both of them for making 
history, both in their community and in South Jersey as well. 
Congratulations to Arianna Di Antonio for being crowned this year's 
Little Miss Ocean City, a stellar accomplishment of which she should be 
proud. God Bless both of them and all the contestants of the Little 
Miss Ocean City Pageant, and God Bless America.
