West Deptford Woman Dances Through Miss NJ Pageant

Sammi-Jo Danze represents Miss Northern Lakes in the statewide pageant.

Sammi-Jo Danze, who hails from West Deptford, competed this weekend in the Miss New Jersey Pageant in Ocean City.

The 24-year-old attends Rutgers University and is the Miss Northern Lakes contestant in the pageant.

Danze's last name is fitting—she danced for her talent. She supported Ronald McDonald House as her platform, and for the contestants' traditional parade down the Ocean City Boardwalk, Danze dressed as Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune.
