MISS COSTA RICA 2010

Insidecostarica.com, 17-apr-2010: Hacienda Pinilla, in Santa Cruz, Guanacaste, was full of beauty last night with the conclusion of the Miss Costa Rica 2010 beauty pageant, that 24 year old Marva Wright taking the crown. "I am very happy. I dedicate this to my family, my friends and all those who have been by my side", said Marva. The setting for the event could not have been any better: beach, sand and night sky of Guanacaste, as the event was carried live on national television. The 1st runner-up was Yazmin Zúñiga, while the 2nd and 3rd runner-ups were Natasha Campos and Guiselle Aragon. 10 women competed in the contest. The winner was decided through an extra final question, due to a tie. Marva was asked about the things money can buy, to which she answered that “Money provides us many benefits and helps us go through our needs and to help others; but money will never be able to buy love; that comes from within ourselves.”
