Little Miss and Mister pageant deadline approaches

An April 3 deadline has been set to submit applications for the 2004 Little Miss and Mister Warren County Pageant. The event, sponsored by the Jaycees, is slated April 17 beginning at 6 p.m. at Hickory Creek Elementary School gymnasium.

Each child must be between the ages of 4 and 6 the day of the pageant, but not enrolled in the first grade.

Entry forms may be obtained from Kathy’s Bridal and Formal Shoppe, Your Tot To Teen and Ashley’s Attic. When completed, the applications must be taken to Kathy’s Bridal in Plaza Shopping Center, along with the $30 entry fee and a photo of the child. Sponsors are not required but will be identified during the contest. Pictures of each contestant will be made the night of the pageant.

Each contestant must be a resident of Warren County.

Judging will be based on poise, personality and appearance. If any contestant is fearful of the stage on pageant night, parents will be expected to remove their child from the competition. No parent will be allowed to remain back stage after the event has started.

Children will not be permitted to participate in both the pageant competition and entertainment portion. Children of Jaycee members are not allowed to enter, and judges will not be residents of Warren County.

Rehearsal will take place April 16 at 6 p.m. at the gymnasium. Admission to the pageant is $3 per adult and $1 for children under 12.
