Leslie Gilchrist - 25' Queen
I’ve worn a lot of hats and now I need a crown! I would be honored to continue my love affair with Gulfport by representing this sweet city as Gecko Queen!
I’ve lived, worked, and played in Gulfport since On The Rocks was the place to be on Friday nights and O’Maddys was still a bar ( no food)!!
My children were raised here. I’m largely responsible for KEEPING GULFPORT WEIRD! Literally, I print and sell the shirts and hats!!
I’ve volunteered plenty and supported local constantly. Someone needs to get this party started and I’m ready! 25 years and still weird – it’s meant to be!
