 Six of Manson's Outstanding High School Seniors are Vying for the Position of One Queen and Two Princesses.
Manson,WA(MVT) - The selection takes place on Sunday, February 17, 2008
at 2 PM at the Manson High School Gym. Admission is $3.00 for students and
$5.00 for adults. The theme for this year's festival is GOLDEN GLAMOUR.
 Pictured above in the back from L to R are: Rosie Peterson, Katie Barnes and Whitney Pittman. Middle row, L to R is: Sierra Ellsworth and Keisha Neff. In front is Laura Cross. The candidates will start the selection day with
individual interviews with five out-of-town judges. The candidates and their
escorts will have lunch with the judges, and take time to relax a bit before the
program begins at 2:00. As the program begins M.C. Mike Steele will introduce
each candidate to the audience and read their Bios as they're brought on stage
by their escorts. Each candidate will present a three to five minute speech and
then answer an impromptu question.
At the intermission the audience will have a chance
to cast their vote for their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice for Queen. The audience
vote is worth 20 percent of the total score. Also at intermission will be some
wonderful entertainment. The candidates and their escorts will perform a dance
routine choreographed by Pat Beratta, then Jesse Russell will present Blues
Music on his guitar, and Manson Idol Winner Pauline Bassire will sing for the
crowd. Also on the agenda is a chance for the audience to vote for the "People's
Choice Award" for the festival's button. The top three button entries will be
on display in the commons area so the crowd can view the choices and cast their
vote. The audience' votes will be counted and announced before the end of the
program.
The entire community is invited to attend and show
support to all six candidates. This will truly be a fun-filled afternoon with
lots of entertainment!
