A China Poblana program in Douglas ties back to its Mexican tradition, while prioritizing community service and involvement.
The history of China Poblana dates back to 1620 in Mexico. Douglas China Poblana President Ken Nelson said the China Poblana Selection in Douglas has been going on for decades.
“I know A.P. has China Poblanas, they pick two every year. I don't know if it's just bled over here or it's just a regional thing. But it's very popular in this part of Arizona,” Nelson said. Each year in September, the China Poblana Selection is held where contestants aged 2 to 21 compete in five different age divisions for a chance to represent their community for a year. All age divisions are judged on fundraising, personality and appearance. The two oldest age divisions are also judged on community outreach and volunteering. This year there were four winners.
“What I’m most looking forward to is to get the community out here, make our community a better place and I want people to come out and support and cheer on everything everyone does.”Madison Thomas joined KGUN 9 in July of 2023 as a multimedia journalist. She graduated from Arizona State University in May of 2023 with a degree in journalism and mass communication. She has lived in Arizona her entire life and grew up in Douglas.
