Following the certificate presentation, San Pedro Lions Queen Marisha Thompson 2015/2016 took the opportunity to thank the San Pedro Lions Club for the amazing experience she had during her tenure. It was then announced that Miss Solani Graniel would be crowned San Pedro Lion Queen 2016/2017. Miss Thompson had the honors of sashing and crowning Miss Graniel, who told the audience she was very excited and honored to be their new queen.
Of course, after such a coronation it is only fitting to throw a celebration, and the Rompe Raja band was on hand to perform dance favorites. Guests enthusiastically took to the dance floor where they partied well into the night. Congratulations to Solani Graniel; may her year as the San Pedro Lions Queen be a fulfilling one.
