Caressa Cameron Miss Virginia a Fredericksburg Native crowned as 89th Miss America 2010. Miss Virginia Caressa Cameron, a Fredericksburg native, was crowned Miss America at the great annual spectacle in Las Vegas Saturday night.

Caressa Cameron, a 22 year-old sang the “Dreamgirls” ballad “Listen,” rocked a bright-yellow evening gown, and exhorted kids to get off the couch and play outdoors – and did so with just enough spunk and charisma to win a $50,000 scholarship over 52 other women.

It was a big night for the Beltway: Cameron, who won the Miss Virginia title last summer as a representative of the Miss Arlington pageant, was joined in the top 10 by opera-singing AU grad Miss D.C. Jen Corey.
