The Florida Seafood festival has chosen its queen.

 Morgan Martin won the title at the annual pageant on Saturday.

She is the daughter of Henry and Theresa Martin of Apalachicola and a junior at the Franklin county school.

She will be pretty busy over the next few months publicizing the seafood festival.

She’ll take part in parades around the region and make appearances on area television and radio stations.

She’ll also stay busy during the festival, which is scheduled for November 1^st and 2nd this year.

As queen she’ll officially open the event, as well as head up the annual parade.

And along with King Retsyo, she’ll ride in the front boat during the blessing of the fleet, and oversee the oyster shucking and oyster eating contests.

And if you would like to stay up to date on all of the planned festivities and entertainment for this year’s festival – check out the official seafood festival website at floridaseafoodfestival.com.

This year’s headline entertainment by the way is Country artist Kellie Pickler, who is also known for her recent appearance on the television show Dancing with the Stars.
