This is one of the largest fundraisers that the Service League holds and with over 100 girls in attendance, it was another successful event. However, the pageant wouldn’t be possible without the effort of all of the ladies that volunteer their time each year, the local businesses that donate their services and the parents that support their daughters’ desires to be in the pageant.
