Miss Posen pageant set for Friday
The days are counting down to the annual Miss Posen Pageant, set for Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Posen High School. Contestants and pageant staff are putting the finishing touches on the event, which precedes the Posen Potato Festival, planned for September 5, 6 and 7. The new queen and her court will reign over the festival as well as represent Posen at other events throughout the upcoming year.
This year?s queen will succeed the reigning Miss Posen Elyse Perrault, the daughter of Edward and Denise Perrault. Elyse plans to attend Alpena Community College to major in nursing and minor in theatre. She will then advance to Ferris State University to obtain her bachelor’s degree. This year?s pageant features 10 contestants vying for the title of Miss Posen 2008. They will be evaluated in individual interviews to be held the day of the pageant. During the pageant itself, they will be judged in the areas of coordination, poise and appearance (evening gown) and talent.
