Miss Millard Scholarship Pageant
The curtain rises in March as talented young women vie for the title and crown of Miss Millard County. Pageant directors and committee members help the contestants prepare for the competition weeks in advance with various workshops and practices to help the girls learn how to best showcase their personalities, talents, speaking skills, and poise which help qualify them to serve as ambassadors for Millard County. Miss Millard County 2009 is Jamie Groesbeck, daughter of Nathan and Karen Groesbeck of Fillmore. She is currently a Senior at Millard High School. Jamie has participated in and made appearances at many county events, parades, and festivals, including The Old Capitol Arts Festival, Delta's Tree Festival and light parade, Oak City Days, and reigning over the Millard County Fair to name a few. Jamie will be competing in the Miss Utah Pageant this June at Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City. As contestants work towards their goal of becoming Miss Millard they gain self-confidence and poise in many areas that are applicable as they continue their education, join the workforce, and continue on with their lives. Competition begins with the Judges' Interview, which is 40 percent of the total score. The casual wear portion counts as 10 percent of the score. Contestants perform their talents the evening of the pageant, which counts as 30 percent. Evening wear is scored at 10 percent of the total score. The remaining 10 percent of contestants' scores is given during two on-stage questions. Miss Millard receives a $2250 scholarship and her attendants and other finalists are also presented scholarships and/or cash prizes. This year’s attendants are Melinda Steele, 1st attendant, and Skylar Beckstrand, 2nd attendant. This year's Little Miss Millard is Kaybree Stephensen, daughter of Robert and Tanya Stephensen of Delta. She is 10 years old and is a 4th grader at Delta South Elementary. Kaybree serves along side Jamie in representing the county and presiding over many functions. She will also accompany Jamie to the Miss Utah Pageant and will escort her on stage. Join us and experience a fun, glamorous, and exciting evening of pageantry at its best. The pageant will be held on March 20, 2010, at 7:00 pm at the Millard High School Auditorium in Fillmore.
