Kyleigh Hood Crowned 2025 Miss Cahaba Lily, Ready to Inspire and Serve
WEST BLOCTON, Ala. – Kyleigh Hood has been crowned the 2025 Miss Cahaba Lily Queen during the annual pageant held at West Blocton High School on April 26, 2025. Along with her sister queens, Hood will represent the pageant and the town at the upcoming Cahaba Lily Festival, scheduled for May 17, 2025, in West Blocton.
In addition to the crown, Hood earned $4,500 in cash scholarships. Her awards include a $1,000 Queen’s Scholarship; a $1,000 scholarship sponsored by Sim’s Bark; a $1,000 scholarship from Bibb Medical Center; a $500 award from Top Line Equipment of AL, LLC; a $500 Spirit of Christmas Award from the Town of Woodstock; and a $500 award from the “We Are West Blocton” Community Facebook Group.
Hood was crowned at the conclusion of the pageant, which featured judges’ interviews, an evening gown competition, and an on-stage question segment. Earlier in the day, additional titles were awarded in younger divisions, each receiving a $250 cash award including Khloe McCullar (Young Miss Cahaba Lily) Cadia Swisher (Little Miss Cahaba Lily) McKenzie Ann Doyle (Tiny Miss Cahaba Lily), Jovi Cox (Petite Miss Cahaba Lily), and Kollyns Barnes (Baby Miss Cahaba Lily).
This year’s pageant introduced a new afternoon session featuring an opening group routine and contestant introductions for the Young Miss and Miss divisions. The Miss Cahaba Lily Pageant continues to evolve, expanding scholarship opportunities and competition categories, particularly for its oldest division.
“The title of Miss Cahaba Lily has become more than just a crown,” said West Blocton Mayor Daniel Sims. “Our queens remain actively involved in the community throughout their reign, hosting service events to support their platforms. It’s been a wonderful addition for the Town of West Blocton, and I’m excited to see how it continues to grow.”
Following her crowning, Hood immediately began planning her first service fundraiser to support her platform.
Kyleigh Hood is the 18-year-old daughter of Leighann Driver of Woodstock. A senior at West Blocton High School, Hood plans to attend the University of Alabama.
Along with her sister queens, Hood will represent the pageant at the upcoming Cahaba Lily Festival and the Woodstock Music Festival scheduled for May 17, 2025, in West Blocton and Woodstock, AL.
