The Columbus County Fair Pageant is making its return this year.
“I’m not sure how long it’s been since we had a fair pageant,” said organizer Jan Hardee, who was the Columbus County Fair Queen in 1986. “It’s exciting to bring this back to our county fair.”
The pageant will be held Oct. 12. Entry deadline is Sept. 18, and there is no entry fee.
Divisions include Tiny Miss (ages 2-4); Little Miss (5-8); Junior Miss (9-12); Teen miss (13-16) and Miss (17-21).
Applications must be turned in at Whiteville City Schools office, 107 W. Waklter street, by Sept. 18.
There is no entry fee, but participants must purchase a $25 Columbus County Fair T-shirt for $25. The shirt must be worn in the parade and provides free admission every night of the fair. An additional shirt will be provided for the opening number on pageant night.
The pageant will be on the main stage at the fairgrounds Oct. 12 from 6-8 p.m. Rehearsal will be at 10 a.m. the same day.
