FAIRVIEW—Of the 29 young girls who participated in Little Miss Fairview 2018, 16 were crowned as royalty in five age categories.

Girls ages of 4-14 competed in the pageant, which took place at the Peterson Dance Hall in Fairview on Saturday, March 10.

The competition included personal interview, casual wear and party dress, along with talent competition for girls 7-14 years old.

This year’s royalty for ages 4-6 are Queen Zana Lucas, daughter of Tad and Crystal Lucas; 1st Attendant Kali Madsen, daughter of Nick and Natalie Madsen; and 2nd attendant Penelope Cox, daughter of Kenny and Brook Cox.

For ages 7-8, the royalty are Queen Swazey Bills, daughter of Brady and Dustylynn Bills; 1st Attendant Kenlee Sorensen, daughter of Garrett and Shandi Sorensen; and 2nd Attendant Jacey Gleave, daughter of Lloyd and Katie Gleave.

Other special awards given out that night were top interview to Shae Rawlinson, top talent to Swazey Bills and Miss Congeniality to Kenlee Sorensen.

The night was emceed by Luke Kelso of Mt. Pleasant and the current Miss Fairview Malia Ah Kuoi.

A lot of time and effort goes into making such a pageant run. Marcy Curtis, pageant co-director, said, “I hope, if anything, each one of these girls grew stronger with the pageant. I hope that friendships were made to last a lifetime.”

Marcy also said this pageant was started eight years ago to help build the self-confidence of girls in Fairview and to help encourage them to try out for Miss Fairview when they were of age.

The pageant committee said they have watched several girls go from barely daring to peek their heads through the curtains to being in royalties, on cheer teams and so much more.
