TROY CADY - Founder
Troy Cady started Miss Oysterfest 15 years ago with the dream of fundraising money for the youth in our community. When deciding on who could join the Miss Oysterfest he opened it to any girl from any area in Texas. We have been blessed to meet so many strong minded and talented young women. He is happy to know that our small hometown pageant has grown to be such a strong pageant system he is proud to call Miss Oysterfest. The Winner of Miss Oysterfest has an opportunity to move on and compete in the Miss Texas Pageant in Dallas for her chance to win and move on and become Miss America. "I could have never done this alone but I am proud of our pageant and what it has grown into."
CHELSEY OTT - PAGEANT DIRECTOR
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 someone who has 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.
