"Miss Gay Arizona pageant lauds the best drag performers"
A couple of quotes:
On holding a Miss Gay America title:
"People know when they see these gold crowns in the bar who it is," promoter Daniel Eckstrom said. "They know that some of the best entertainers in the state are former Miss Gay Arizonas and that it's been a constant for decades."
On being Miss Gay Arizona America 2017:
"For someone who enjoys being on stage and receiving recognition from an audience, it's the most exciting stage you can be on. It's really the best of the best," Gardens said. "If you're ready to win, it's a really exciting opportunity. There's a pressure to be on point constantly but I'm lucky to have such support and to be doing the job I wanted for the last eight years."
On giving back:
"It's a point of pride that we got the community to donate at fundraisers and were able to provide an opportunity to someone," said Gardens. "As much as we've become leaders as performers, to influence change and provide an educational opportunity to the next generation is incredibly rewarding."
