Miss Gainesville pageant kicks off Saturday

Growing up, Elizabeth Gonzalez never expected to compete in beauty pageants. The 21-year-old from Newberry said her style was “boyish” during her adolescent years, preferring jeans and T-shirts to skirts and stilettos. But earning the title of Miss Gainesville would help her do what she’s passionate about: reaching out to young people.
