Junior Princess Pageant deadline set for Aug. 27

Plans are being finalized for the Warren County Junior Princess Pageant, slated for Sept. 8 at 6 p.m. The event for girls 9-11 years of age will be held in the Hickory Creek Elementary gymnasium. Contestants will be judged on evening gown, casual wear, personality and beauty.

The event is sponsored annually by the McMinnville Business and Professional Women’s Club. The reigning Junior Princess is Peyton Jade Kelsey, daughter of Jenny and Reagan Kelsey.

‘We believe this pageant promotes confidence and self esteem, giving the young ladies the opportunity to present themselves to a crowd with ease,’ said BPW representative Jewell Walker. ‘Most of all, we just want them to have fun and enjoy themselves!’

Applications are available for pick up at Kathy’s Bridal and Formal, and Memories Boutique. The deadline to enter is Aug. 27 and applications must be returned to Kathy’s or Memories. More information can be obtained by calling Walker at 668-2987.
