Amanda Kibel will represent the Durango area as Mrs. La Plata County during the Mrs. Colorado competition set for April 18 in Denver.

Kibel (formerly Romano), 26, lives in Durango and works in Farmington as financial development officer for the American Red Cross. She grew up in Cañon City and moved to Durango about five years ago.

Mrs. Colorado is open to married women of any age. Kibel is a longtime participant in pageant competitions, and she was selected as Ms. Colorado Galaxy in 2010.

“To be Mrs. Colorado has been a dream of mine since I started this in high school,” she said.

She was married last year to Matthew Kibel of Durango. He is a welder at CAL Steel & Sheetmetal. They have a daughter, Ava, age 2.

The Mrs. Colorado competition will be held April 18 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver. The winner advances to the Mrs. America competition.

Kibel’s photography sponsor is Kelly Miranda Photography. Kibel is seeking additional local sponsors and may be contacted at amromano44@aol.com.
