Two Levittown girls are headed to Disneyland to compete in the National American Miss Princess Pageant.
Shanel and Sayjel Tan were previously selected to compete in the New York State pageant in the age 4-6 division. At that pageant on August 9 and 10, the girls qualified to compete in the National finals this November at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
At the state pageant, Sayjel won the talent and top model search, bringing home cash prizes and $1,000 in scholarships. Her sister Shanel won first runner-up for the top model search.
