100th Festival Queen
Alli Venditte
My name is Alli Lynn Venditte. I will be entering my junior year at Gross Catholic High School and I am on the varsity golf team. I am the granddaughter of Mary and Charlie Venditte who have been members of Santa Lucia for many years.
My Great Grandma Fena Venditte was the first Santa Lucia queen in 1929. I have been a part of this festival my entire life.
You can find me working in the La Trattoria or dessert booth. Throughout the year you can also find me attending various Santa Lucia events and volunteering anywhere that is needed. Most of my family are members of this organization and a few have served as queen.
This festival is something I look forward to all year long and it holds a special place in my heart. I am honored to have been the flower girl for my cousins Anna Venditte Diederich, Vivian Caniglia and other past queens and queen candidates. This opportunity is something I have anxiously awaited and can't wait to serve as the 100th Santa Lucia Festival Queen.
