Plans Progressing For Clark County Fair Pageant

The Clark County Fair pageant and talent committee are making final plans for the 2000 Clark County pageant. It will again be at Arkansas Hall on Henderson State University's campus in Arkadelphia on September 11.

The committee's goal is to discover, develop and encourage the youth of Clark County.

A Junior Miss division will be added this year. Young ladies age 13 to 15 years of age may compete in this division. They will model street wear and evening gown. They will also be interviewed by the judges.

Fair Queen contestants must be 16 to 21 years of age. They will compete in street wear, swimsuit, evening gown and interview.

Little Miss contestants ages 3 to 5 years of age will compete in pageant dress and on-stage question.

Talent contestants must be 10 to 20 years of age and may choose to compete in vocal solo, dance solo, vocal group, dance group, instrumental solo, or variety (example: dance and sing or singing while accompanying oneself with an instrument).

This year the committee hopes to take six talent acts to the State Fair talent competition.

Businesses, clubs, organizations and individuals are encouraged to sponsor a contestant. Entry fees are $15 per contestant. The deadline is August 31.

Applications may be picked up at the Clark County Extension office at 501 Clay Street, Arkadelphia, by calling 246-5095.
