The Buena Vista County Fair Board invites you to enter the BV Co. Fair Little Miss Pageant to be held at the fair Thursday, July 21, 2011.

The pageant is emphasized as a fun-filled day of events and the opportunity for the girls to meet other girls throughout the county rather than a competitive activity. The winner will be eligible to represent Buena Vista County at the state pageant. However, the decision and the cost of participating at the state level will be the contestant’s responsibility.

Contestants must be between the ages of 5 and 8 as of September 15, 2011, and must also be a resident of Buena Vista County to be eligible for the contest. Each girl will be judged on personality, poise, and beauty. The judges will be looking for the neat, natural, attractive, typical little girl, not a miniature adult.

To enter, fill out the form below and mail to: Little Miss Pageant, C/O BV Co. Fair P.O. Box 125 Alta, Iowa 51002 no later than June 1, 2011, and make an appointment with Shannon at Emagination Gallery at 732-4769. Pictures will be taken June 2nd only. All contestants must have photos taken on one of these days as the photos will be used for pre-pageant publicity.

More detailed information will be sent to each entrant after July 1st. For questions, contact Nancy Robbins @ 299-7033.
