NILES - Put a smile on you face and your best foot forward and compete to be the 2006 Mr. or Ms. Riverfest.
The reigning Mr. and Ms. Riverfest, Conrad Rader and Lisa Lidecker, will pass on their crowns to the new winners at the Riverfront Amphitheater on Thursday Aug. 4, at 7:30 p.m.
The Mr. and Ms. Riverfest pageant is not your average beauty contest. Judges are looking for individuals with a great personality who can pleasantly represent Riverfest within the community and support what Riverfest is all about.
The contest is open to all men and women over the age of 18.
Contestants will be judged on stage presence, personality and an interview with the panel of judges.
According the the official Niles Riverfest website, www.nilesriverfest.net, Mr. and Ms. Riverfest will receive a crown, sash and be awarded hundreds of dollars in gifts and prizes, and the first runners up will receive special gifts as well.
The Van Dyke Revue will be entertaining the audience before, during and after the contest.
For additional information on the Mr. and Ms. Riverfest contest, contact Lynne Green at (269) 684-4858.
You can download an application from the Riverfest website or pick one up at the following locations: Majerek's Hall of Cards, Leader Publications, Brian Watson Allstate Insurance, Marie &Company, and Family Video.
