Seventeen Girls to Participate in Little Miss Claysburg Pageant

The 26th annual Little Miss Claysburg Pageant, in conjunction with Claysburg Area Community Days, will take place Saturday, Aug. 14, at 11:30 a.m.

The 2019-2020 25th Silver Anniversary Queen Mallory Rose Dodson will crown the winner. Dodson is the daughter of Christa and Ryan Dodson.

There will be three rounds of judging: parade of contestants, introduction of contestants (collective judging), and interview of contestants (collective judging).

Special awards will be given out:

• The first award will be the Loretta “Ret” Walter Memorial “Spirit” Award, presented to a stage attendant or committee member who exemplifies “dedication and devotion.” Last year’s winner was Bonnie Dively.

• The same award will then be presented to a sponsor for “appreciation and gratitude.”

• There will be an award donated by Diana G. Walter Dively in memory of her mother who co-founded the pageant with her daughter.

The pageant will have six runners-up. Then, the 2021 Little Miss Claysburg Queen will be crowned.

The pageant will be hosted and directed by Diana G. Walter Dively.
