Distinguished Young Women competition comes to Winter Garden

Fourteen young women from throughout Florida will culminate their stay in West Orange at the Distinguished Young Women “Count Our Stars” competition at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24, at the Garden Theatre, 160 W. Plant St., Winter Garden.

Participants in this year’s competition have stayed with West Orange host families while they visited several local organizations, including the Winter Garden Chick-fil-A, Golden Pond Communities, the Winter Garden Heritage Museum and the Winter Garden Art Association. 

Yesterday, the contestants met with U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, who shared his story about how he entered politics and also some advice on leadership and success.
