Miss Carbon County Scholarship Pageant

On Saturday, August 7, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. at the Price Civic Auditorium.  Mary Frandsen, our reigning Miss Carbon County, will crown the new Miss Carbon County 2004 - 2005.

Since being crowned last year, Miss Frandsen has been serving Carbon County through countless hours of community service through the Sun Center at CEU, with our city and school libraries, and in preparing to represent our county at the Miss Utah Pageant at Abravenal Hall in Salt Lake City. Mary’s platform (which sets Miss America apart from the other pageants) has been, “Leading the way by reading today”, a program designed to promote literacy. She has designed and published an ABC book, provided books for hundreds of Carbon County children and promoted good reading skills.

The Miss Carbon County and Miss Utah Scholarship Pageants are part of the Miss America franchise, and are non-profit organizations existing solely to provide personal and professional opportunities for young women and to promote their voices in culture, politics, and the community. The organization is one of the leading achievement programs and the largest competitive scholarship program for young women in the world.

The Miss America Organization is founded the platform concept, which requires each contestant to choose an issue about which she cares deeply and that is of relevance to our society. Miss Carbon County titleholders have generated awareness for countless causes over the years, ranging from childhood safety to domestic violence, literacy, and eating disorders.

Lori Prince has been our local director since 1998 and has tried to make The Miss Carbon County Scholarship Pageant a rewarding experience for all who compete, not just he titleholders.

This year promises to be an outstanding pageant, with many of our previous titleholders returning to the community to help with the pageant. Our theme this year is “Remember When.”  We hope to see you there.
