Jaycees seek entrants for Junior Princess Pageant

The 2004 Junior Princess Pageant for local girls ages 9 through 11 is being presented by the Jaycees. Each contestant must be a U.S. citizen, resident of Warren County and enrolled in school.

The competition is slated May 1 beginning at 6 p.m. in the gymnasium at Hickory Creek Elementary School with April 17 having been set as the deadline for entry. No late entries will be accepted.

Applications, along with a photo of the child and non-refundable $30 fee, must be taken to Kathy’s Bridal and Formal Shoppe in Plaza Shopping Center by the deadline.

Sponsors are not required but will be announced at the pageant.

Judging will be based on gown, personality and beauty. Judges will not be residents of Warren County and children of Jaycee members are not allowed to participate. No child may be a pageant contestant if they are planning to participate in the entertainment portion of the evening.

Rehearsal is scheduled April 30 at Hickory Creek School. If the contestant misses rehearsal, she will be ineligible to participate in the pageant. No parent will be allowed to remain backstage after the pageant has begun or the contestant will be disqualified.

General admission is $3 per adult and $1 for children under age 12.
