Mz. Mars Hill
The 2009 Mz. Mars Hill Pageant will be held on Saturday, April 11, at 7 p.m. at the Mars Hill and Blaine Community Center. There will be eight beauties vying for the coveted title this year. They will compete in sportswear, talent and evening gowns.
The young “ladies” competing this year include: Ethel Noll (Josh Faulkner), Heaven Leigh Leggs (Jack Footer), Kandy (Zack Stetson), Lucy Lastics (Matt Graves), Marsha Mello (Manny Martinez), Ellie Mae Clampette (Ethan Garrison), Allota Butt (T.J. Turley), Casey Needzit (Jared Tardy) and Ima Dopted (Nate Donovan).
Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under and are available from any senior, any contestant or at the door. There will also be a 50/50 drawing. Tickets will be sold on a Home Interior Basket, which will be drawn on May 8, in time for Mother‘s Day.
This Senior Class fund-raiser is a great way to spend an evening and is always a crowd pleaser. You’ll be sorry if you miss it!
