As a participant in this pageant, everyone will have the opportunity to learn to speak confidently in a public space. 

 

In the registration form, you will describe in 50 words or less a social cause or interest that you are passionate about or something that you may be interested in learning more about and why.

 

Each participant will be asked a question about their social cause. For example, if your social cause is animal rescue, you may be asked about what made you care about animals. If you care about keeping our community clean and beautiful, you may want to talk about picking up litter when you see it on the ground. Our younger contestants may not be aware of any social causes, so maybe their interest is helping to bake cookies, helping to take care of the family pet, or even helping to fix things around the house. Anything is acceptable, it’s about an opportunity to experience public speaking and grow in confidence over the years to master the art of public speaking confidently. 

 

The Founders Day parade is Saturday, August 16, at 11:30 a.m. Please plan to participate if you win your age division Title. The Chamber & Development Alliance may be able to help you find a vehicle if needed. You need to show up at the high school (1000 Cypress St.) by 11:15. A Title winner will not be allowed to compete next year but is asked to come back to present a crown and sash to next year’s Miss Wilton Founders Day and runners-up.
