Born and raised in El Campo, Chelsey took her first trip to Rockport when she was just 5 months old, sparking a lifelong connection with the Texas coast. Growing up, she spent countless days on the beaches of Port Aransas, developing a deep love for the sand, sea, and coastal lifestyle.
Chelsey entered her first pageant at the age of 6 and has held various titles including Ms.Oysterfest 2020 and Miss Fulton 2020-2021.

DARLENE IRWIN - Assistant Director
Darlene has helped with Miss Oysterfest for 5 years. She has helped with decorating, scoring, judges, contestants and so much more. Darlene deals with the girls one on one and makes sure things run smoothly back stage. She has always been dedicated to our Pageant system and is always there to ensure its success. She is a resident of Rockport and spends hours of time to make sure that our pageant is a success each year. Without her dedication we are not sure how we could get through the pageant day.
