This is Jasper’s largest annual parade that will roll down Main Street. We only arrange for the position in the parade. You will be responsible for your transportation. Convertible cars, pick-up trucks etc. are favorites!!

Early Entries – We will have two “random” drawings. One will be at the beginning of the Pageant for all the early entrants in the first five age groups. This drawing will consist of all the entries received by the August 28, 2015 deadline. There will be a second “random” drawing for the remaining age groups for the same award. These entries must be in our possession on the “early entry” deadline, August 28, 2015 to be eligible for the drawings. The winners of the drawing will receive $25.00 cash! So, please mail your registration in early so you can be a part of this fabulous event.
Late Registration – Thursday, September 10, 2015 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the Rehearsal. There will be a $10.00 late fee for all registrations received after August 28, 2015. The location of the rehearsal will be at the Pickens County Community Center.
NOTE: There must be at least “three (3)” entries received for any “single” division for competition in that division. Should there not be at least three entries, you will be contacted to inquire if you are interested in participating in another age group.
Although only one girl can be a winning “Queen”, each girl is a winner and we ask that parents help us in making them feel like winners! Our judges are “professional” people with various pageant/modeling experiences and reside outside Pickens County.
All proceeds and donations from this event go to the benefit of the Bethany-Salem Volunteer Fire Department. Your generous support is greatly appreciated.
