Carolyn Ladd, Beauties of America 40s, ventured east of the Cascade mountains to attend the Miss Yakima County 2011 Pageant. The winner, Reina Almon, will compete in the Miss Washington Pageant, a preliminary to Miss America, next year.
The director of the
Miss Yakima Pageant is our own Carol Milliron, 2008 Beauties of America 50s.
One unique feature of the pageant was that each contestant had a male relative who ran through the audience collecting money in a bucket during a 90 second frenzy called "Dashing for Dollars."
The men wore t-shirts with the name of their contestant, some bedazzled, and one father even wore a small crown attached to his (bald) head with an elastic band around his chin! "Dashington for Dollars" raised over $1000 for the scholarship fund. The constant whose bucket had the most money got to keep half of it -- $150! Congratulations to Carol Milliron on a very successful pageant!
