The Hanover Theatre played host to the 2012 Miss Massachusetts Pageant. The two day competition ended on Saturday night, when Taylor Kinzler took home the coveted crown.

Kinzler will go on to represent the Commonwealth in next January's Miss America Pageant.. The 86th annual pageant will take place on January 12, 2013 at the Theatre for the Performing Arts, Paradise, Nevada.

Catie Coates of Shrewsbury was the only Central Mass resident to compete and, though she did not make the finals, was invited to dance as a non-finalist talent performer.

Now, take a look below at some of the more memorable moments of the 2012 Miss Massachusetts Pageant.
