Courtney Pellegrino Crowned Miss Night in Venice
The 12 contestants raised $58,000 for local charities during the annual Ocean City event.
Courtney Pellegrino was named Miss Night in Venice on Thursday evening in a ceremony at the Moorlyn Family Theater on the Ocean City Boardwalk.

Pellegrino was sponsored by the Gabriel Building Group.
