Jamisyn Baker and Olivia Suker are cousins with more in common than just a bloodline. In a few months, the girls will compete together in the Miss Vermont USA/Teen Pageant, happening June 5-6 at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe.
Baker, 15, is a sophomore at Rutland High School, and will be competing for her first time, vying for the title of Miss Vermont Teen. Suker, 19, currently holds the title of Miss New England Silver Queen, the first pageant she entered. This time she’s hoping to be crowned Miss Vermont USA. She grew up in Shrewsbury, and is currently studying human biology and cognitive science as a freshman at North Carolina State University.
