\u201cThis is an opportunity for us to reconnect with our loyal customer base. It\u2019s always been a fun pageant in the past, our employees, and the community always enjoys the pageant,\u201d Harell said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity for us to give back to them and provide opportunity for the larger part of the community to have fun,\u201d he added, noting that many of those involved in the pageant always helped them in carrying out their community programs such as their Man\u2019amko Makeover Day.<\/p>\n
