This year we're starting a new tradition at the Meeker Days Festival. Join us for our 1st Annual Lil' Miss Meeker Days Pageant! The Pageant will be held Saturday, June 21, 2008 from 1:00-3:00 pm on the Community Stage located in Pioneer Park in downtown Puyallup during the Meeker Days Festival.

15 contestants will be selected to compete for the honor of representing the Meeker Days Festival throughout the year at various Puyallup Main Street events.

Open to girls age 6 to 10 who reside or attend school in Puyallup, Sumner/Bonney Lake or Orting.

Contestants will be scored on talent, appearance, personality and creativity.

Every contestant will receive an official Lil' Miss Meeker Days t-shirt that they will wear during the competition. They are encouraged to embellish the t-shirt with beads, paint, glitter, etc. but they are restricted from cutting or tearing the T-shirt.

Talent portion of the program should not exceed 2 min. in length. Dance, sing, read a poem, perform a scene from a favorite movie, twirl a baton or do a presentation of your artwork. Whatever! You're only limited to your creativity and imagination.
