    Hampton is home to yet another promising pageant contestant.
    Richelle Orr became Miss Iowa Teen USA in 2011, and in 2013 she became Miss Iowa USA. Hampton-Dumont senior Bekah Christiansen, 17, hopes to join the ranks as she competes to be this year’s Miss Iowa Teen USA in October.
    She will use her platform to talk about human trafficking, a form of exploitation used to force people into labor or the commercial sex industry.
    “As soon as I heard about it, I knew I wanted to do something to help these girls,” Christiansen said.
    Look for the full article in the July 1 edition of the Hampton Chronicle.
