Samantha Hennings, Miss Leeds Area 2025

American Legion Post 107

I love visiting the American Legion Post 107 because the people are absolutely incredible, and they have helped me so much in establishing my community service initiative.

Miss Leeds Area

My favorite memory is when I was crowned Miss Leeds Area. I am so honored and excited to represent a community that recognizes the importance of supporting our veterans and first responders. It was an honor to make Leeds proud this year at Miss Alabama!

El Cazador

I love getting the cheesy chicken and rice at El Cazador in Leeds! My family loves to eat there, and we always receive the best service.

Leeds Memorial Park

I have spent a lot of time at events at Leeds Memorial Park for events such as Veterans Memorial Ceremony, National Night Out and Creek Bank Festival. The area is always so clean and beautiful, and it’s perfect for the entire family!

Veterans Day

My favorite day in Leeds is Veterans Day because the City of Valor always goes all out for our local heroes. It starts with the City of Valor 5k and pancake breakfast. Then there is lunch at the American Legion Post 107, followed by the Veterans Memorial Ceremony. The day is always so special and intentional in honoring our veterans.
