Junior Miss Fashion Show
Two days ago, I put together my second community engagement event for maurices: a fashion show featuring this year’s Central Douglas County Junior Miss contestants.
Fifteen of the young ladies chose to participate and had a blast strutting their stuff on stage in the center of the Roseburg Valley Mall. I was very impressed by how well the girls did! I surprised them with a microphone at the end of the stage where I instructed them to introduce themselves to the audience and say a little something fun, too. I think the show gave the girls some great experience with walking and talking on stage before the big event.
Also, one lucky winner of a random drawing earned an official maurices sponsorship, which includes three outfits at 50 percent off. Music was generously provided by DJ Rich of Roseburg.
America’s Junior Miss Scholarship Program provides thousands of dollars in scholarship money to high school seniors across the country. Young ladies compete at the local, state and national level to showcase their talents, intelligence, community and school involvement, and personality. Moreover, this program allows the contestants to develop new relationships and lend a helping hand through community service.
As a new committee member for this year’s local Junior Miss Program, I’m very excited to see all of the girls’ hard work pay off on program day, which is Saturday, March 13 at Jacoby Auditorium at UCC.
