The Kent Lions Club, which sponsors Kent
Cornucopia Days, is holding a meeting for young women to
learn about entering the Miss Cornucopia Scholarship
Pageant.
The orientation will be held at 1 p.m. Feb. 22
at the Kent Fire Department's training facility, 24611
116th Ave. S.E. Applications will be available and
the process of competing will be explained.
Requirements to enter the Miss Cornucopia
pageant are that participants be female, never have been
married and not have children. High school students
and recent graduates are the usual contestants. The
pageant will be held in May.
Miss Cornucopia participates in year-round
parades and other community events in the greater Puget
Sound area to represent the Kent Community and the Lion's
Club.
The scholarship pageant is about much more
than beauty, said Bruce Weissich, pageant director.
He said community service is one of the most important
factors of the contest.
Last year more than $6,000 in scholarship
money was given in the pageant. Miss Cornucopia
receives a $3,000 scholarship, and first and second
runners-up also get part of the fund.
The current Miss Cornucopia is Alexandrea
Conn, a 2002 Kent-Meridian High School graduate who is
attending Central Washington University.
